How to create an HTML button that acts like a link?

Question

I would like to create an HTML button that acts like a link. So, when you click the button, it redirects to a page. I would like it to be as accessible as possible.

As of HTML5, buttons support the formaction attribute. Best of all, no Javascript or trickery is needed.

Caveats

• Must be surrounded by
  tags.
• type must be "submit" (or unspecified), I couldn't get it working with type "button." Which brings up point below.
• Overrides the default action in a form. In other words, if you do this inside another form it's going to cause a conflict.
