That was also my initial opinion. What would actually happen is that the "Next" button would disappear when at the last step of the form ;-)
The drawback with that approach is that the user doesn't know whether doing an action (selecting a link for instance) will "un-disable" a button or not -> some buttons will get enabled (say, "next") while others won't ("finish").
In practice there's indeed a "blinking" risk, we might be aiming at the best while the good would be enough (yes, that's a rough translation of a French saying).
I misunderstood. I though that buttons were disappearing and appearing in the _same_ form. What you are proposing, if I am not wrong again, is that each form has a different set of buttons that depends on the actual actions that are possible at that point (though some of them could be temporarily disabled). Ok. I don't have a strong opinion but I think it could be ok. Sorry for the noise :) -Fabio
