[IxDA Discuss] Behavior of "Previous" button

[Sebi Tauciuc]

I agree with Peyush. And I also think that there should be no validation
done on 'Back' - at least not the kind of validation that requires the user
to revisit/reenter data. To be more precise, the user should always be
allowed to go back at the click of a button, no matter what.
