We should float our default submit buttons to the right (when they are at the bottom of the page) and cancel buttons to the left for improving usability.

I can imagine this would require a wrapper div around the submit buttons to clear the floating of the left/right floated submission control buttons.

Can you provide an image to clarify, please check this idea with web conventions, because I am not sure I always thought it was the other way around.

Since most major websites such as Facebook, Reddit, IGN and Digg all float default submit buttons to the left and other buttons (that cancel a task or provide secondary actions) I am marking this as won't fix.
