I looked at several pages on several skins and came to the conclusion that: 
(a) is not acceptable, because it gives authors an inconsistent editing 
environment, (b) might be best because it won't break current skins, (c) 
may break some skins.

That said, the backlink isn't really needed - the cancel button performs 
the same function and is much clearer about the results of pressing it. So 
I would vote for (c) as long as the skin has a cancel button on the edit 
form (I haven't tried them all!).
