It's a bit of a moot point for this discussion, but the HTML4.01
specification does state that a checkbox must be checked to be
submitted, and that only selected elements of a select are submitted
(note that it actually uses the term "successful" and then later states
that the form dataset is comprised of successful controls).  See
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#successful-controls>.

Agreed, we need to find a better solution to this issue.
