Description
According to the ARIA spec www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles the aria-pressed attribute only applies to HTML elements with role=button The <input> element inside dijit.form.CheckBox? does not have any role in Dojo 1.4.3, the role should be role=checkbox and the attribute should be aria-checked not aria-pressed. In 1.7, aria-pressed is no longer there and has been replaced by aria-checked however the input is still missing the appropriate role=checkbox.

Because we get so many tickets, we often need to return them to the initial reporter for more information. If that person does not reply within 14 days, the ticket will automatically be closed, and that has happened in this case. If you still are interested in pursuing this issue, feel free to add a comment with the requested information and we will be happy to reopen the ticket if it is still valid. Thanks!
For Dojo 1.7, where does the spec say that input[type=checkbox] requires a role=checkbox? This is implied to screen-readers for native HTML checkboxes.
