Re: UAIG requires checkable object attribute for aria-pressed

I don't recall the discussions but I think the idea is that aria-pressed
should only be used for implementing toggle buttons, or at least for
buttons where the current state (pressed or not) is important for some
reason (perhaps a press and hold counter or something). I think these use
cases are semantically similar to checkboxes.

Cheers,
