Description
The switch explainer has a long standing open question regarding markup. Initially, the explainer was proposing adding a new <switch> element but an switch attribute proposal using <input type="checkbox" switch> was submitted to WHATWG in July 2023 shortly before the explainer was published.
Should the explainer be rewritten to use the switch attribute?

Done means reaching a documented decision about the markup approach and updating the explainer consistently with that decision.
