Hardly -- competition in that category is fierce, and this proposal isn't
even a contender for "stupidest" -- and there is no point in slamming
people who are trying to improve HTML.  I think most people agree that HTML
forms could use some work.  I do think that this idea simply replicates
checkboxes with a different proscribed UI, but I also think it is good to
talk about the limitations of forms.  Sometimes on/off switches _are_ more
intuitive than checkboxes. 

Whatever happened to the proposed features for greying out input elements
(I think I saw this in an early 3.0 draft)?  Did anyone other than Bill
Perry ever implement this feature?
