I believe there is a contradiction in step 5 of the algorithm defined by Web Forms 2.0 section 6.2 "Seeding a form with initial values" [1]. In the last clause of the second paragraph it states that all radio buttons and checkboxes must be skipped over if they "have the exact name given but have a value that is not exactly the same as the contents of the field element." However, four paragraphs later it states that checkboxes (and I suppose radio buttons as well) may be unchecked by means of an empty field element with a matching name attribute: > The only values that would have an effect in this example > are "", which would uncheck the checkbox, and "green", > which would check the checkbox. Obviously the non-empty value of an input element (such as "green") is not exactly the same as the contents of an *empty* field element that has a matching name. <http://www.w3.org/TR/web-forms-2/#seeding> Any thoughts?
