Description

The explainer still has two alternative concepts in it:

  1. <menuitemcheckbox> and <menuitemradio>
  2. <menuitem checkable> with <fieldset checkable=single|multiple>.

I think that we are leaning towards option 2. Does anyone disagree?

Should <menuitem> need a checkable attribute or is being inside a checkable fieldset good enough? In other words, should we allow mixing checkable and non-checkable menuitems inside a <fieldset checkable>?

Should the default value of <fieldset checkable> be checkable=single?
