RE: Logic behind aria-required not being valid on role=checkbox?

That seems valid to me. Worth raising an issue.

Subject: Logic behind aria-required not being valid on role=checkbox?

Hi,
Somebody brought a use case to my attention today regarding the use of
aria-required and role=checkbox, and it seems like a valid one, however
aria-required doesn't appear to be supported on role=checkbox.

The use case being that of a License Agreement checkbox where, if the
checkbox is not checked then the form will not submit, so technically
interacting with the checkbox is required to proceed.

Would there be any interest in adding aria-required as a supported attribute
of role=checkbox in this case?
