This specific problem could be helped by having a non-functional, short 
intermediate state where a click is ignored (e.g. by showing the button 
flipping from one action to the other: [X] <-> --- <-> [O] )

Should match all use cases I could make up adhoc.

But this does not help with the problem that the two are not always mutually 
exclusive: 
one (poweruser?) might want to reload the current page while it is loading 
without doing the extra step of stopping the loading explicitly. 
Question is if the need for this functionality deserves one more button to 
clutter the UI (perhaps by giving powerusers a doubleclick option, but so far 
for unvisible options;).
