Description
A check box should be able to reflect three different states when it represents a setting shared by more than one selected object:
The check box is marked if all of the selected objects have that setting turned on. For example, the map displays all Border and Label features (see image below).
The check box has an intermediate state if some, but not all, of the selected objects have that setting turned on. For example, the map displays only some Geographic Web features.
Display nothing in the box if none of the selected objects has that setting turned on. For example, the map displays no 3D building features.

FWIW, depending on the nature of the form, this third state could be relevant. Consider a form in which the user sets the properties of a number of end-user objects where the value for a specific boolean property for some objects is true while it's false for others. You'd use this third state to indicate this condition for such properties and that, unless changed in the form, this condition will remain unchanged upon form submission.

Hi, there's no test file in the check in, was it left off by mistake?

looks ok now. Closing.
Obviously this wouldn't work for form submission but could be used outside of forms.
Not sure what the API should be though as "checked" attribute is boolean. I.e, it's a special boolean attribute in browsers,for example:
