When a user is creating a new node, she might need to go back before filling a step thoroughly. But empty required fields in a step will trigger errors and prevent user from going back to the previous step.

This article from Befused shows a form_alter to fix the issue: http://befused.com/drupal/multistep-back-error-suppression

Yet I think it shouldn't be needed for the back button should have validation errors disabled by default.

I applied this patch and used it for a long while on my site and it works perfectly. I also believe that it should be a default behavior and it should be included in the next release.
Thanks for the patch
