Greetings again everyone.

I am reviewing the documentation for the aria-checked state, both the
official 1.0 and latest draft of 1.1
I notice that
in 1.1:
aria-checked is valid with roles "option"
inherits into role: treeitem

In 1.0 spec:
valid with role: option
inherits into roles:
treeitem
radio
menuitemradio

The one role not mentioned here, one that people would expect to see
.. I think, is role="checkbox" (which inherits from input).

Is this already an existing issue, or is there a reason why
aria-chekked state is not valid with a checkbox role?
Cheers
