Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors] Should `:checked` and `:indeterminate` be exclusive? (#9706)

> I think it's worth pointing out that a checkbox that's checked and indeterminate, vs one that's unchecked and indeterminate actually have different behaviours.

While it's true that this is currently the case, I think it's unfortunate (and may be an accident of history rather than consciously designed behavior). IMO it would be preferable, from a user's point of view, for an indeterminate checkbox to consistently transition to the checked state when clicked, rather than to either checked or unchecked depending on invisible internal state.
