Hm, I've had the opposite experience. When you are dealing with a form,
not a wizard (context makes them different creatures, I would argue),
users seem to treat the button that occurs first in a left-to-right
arrangement as the default.

Therefore:

submit|cancel

would be preferable.

I've seen users get pretty upset when the buttons are in the opposite
order.
