Bad luck, Tobias Oetiker asked a similar question 2 days ago :-)
Anyway, here is an alternative i forgot to mention in the previous
reply:

#  ---------- beginning of working example
#use wml::std::tags

<define-tag link1>
  <preserve title>
  <set-var %attributes>
  Var title=<get-var title>
  <restore title>
</define-tag>

<define-tag project>
  <link1 %attributes>
</define-tag>

<project title="Perpetuum Mobile">
#  ---------- end of example

With your example, this expands to

<define-tag my_button>
<preserve id>
<preserve txt>
<preserve url>
<preserve local>
<preserve remote>
<set-var local=*>
<set-var %attributes>
<ifneq <get-var local> "*"
  <prog
    <navbar:prolog pos=next>...</navbar:prolog>
  >
>
#  you do not have to worry passing unknown arguments (like `local')
#  they are silenty ignored
<navbar:button pos=next %attributes>
...
