Hans Bracker's Gemini Two skin replaces "Reset" with "Cancel" which really
does abandon the entire edit.
Other skins have a Read button (not part of the form) that takes you back
to the original page without changes.
Rather than "educating" users (a difficult task at the best of times) the
interface should be clarified. Getting rid of Rest completely is an
excellent start.
