           Summary: there is currently no way to inser "required" into
                    checkbox group
           Product: HTML.next
           Version: unspecified

There appears no logical place to indicate that some input is "required" for a
group of checkboxes. If you inserted "required" into each checkbox, it would
require that each checkbox be checked.

While checkboxes may be either checked or unchecked, a scenario is possible in
which at least one checkbox would be required, such as asking the User which
language she/he speaks. (Ostensibly this is at least one, as they are
interacting with the form).

<select multiple> offers an alternative, but can be visually daunting;
checkboxes provide an elegant method for the User to review his/her selections,
at-a-glance.

Thank you for reviewing my bug submission.

John
