Any entry in elog (also drafts) need an ID in order to be stored on the server, no way around that.
The "Abort" button is exactly the same as the "Back" button, just the name is different. But I think the meaning will not be so clear
to the users. They could expect to abort the edit, and get the version as it was before they started editing (which is not possible).
So I'm tempted to just have "Submit" and "Delete". If one wants to abort, one can navigate away from the page, and confirm the "Leave page"
dialog box. So experts who know what they do can still do an abort if necessary.
