This is by far the most elegent solution imo. It doeasnt rely on client-side functionality, is invisible to the user and still provides valid xhtml to boot.
If i could be so bold as to provide a slightly leaner alternative:
I found that this does not solve the problem stated on this blog. IE6 will still submit multiple name/value pairs even if the name is of the form #name|value.

Another way in PHP
while (list($key, $value) = each(${"HTTP_".$REQUEST_METHOD."_VARS"})){
// Microsoft Internet Explorer don't likes <button></button> http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#buttons
// use for name="key" value="value" -> name="#key|value"
if(substr($key,0,1) == "#"){
$aKeyValue = iErepair(substr($key,1));
$key = $aKeyValue[0];
$value = $aKeyValue[1];
$$key = $value;
}
}
// -- IE Button Repair
function iErepair($varName){
$array = explode("|",$varName);
$key = $array[0];
$value = $array[1];
return $array;
}

I've been experimenting with JavaScript solutions to the button problem, but this one trumps them all. Thanks.

If i could be so bold as to provide a slightly leaner alternative:
foreach ($_POST as $key => $val)
if(substr($key,0,1) == "#"){
$bits = explode("|",(substr($key,1)));
unset($_POST[$key]);
$_POST[$bits[0]] = $bits[1];
}
Us oldies hate typing ;)
