Hi,
I've done some forensics, but haven't come up with much.
Based on the W3C CVS logs, the text about "object attribute
checkable:true" was added in a revision of the UAIG dated 07 Jan 2009.
However, there is nothing in the commit log that explains why.
Neither have I found any tracker item (issue or action) that speaks to
this; nor any W3C bugzilla, nor any mention of the change in meeting
minutes.
Maybe the Jan 2009 date will ring a bell with someone. That date is
consistent with FF bugzilla 477876:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477876#c10. It seems
adding checkable to toggle buttons was already controversial in that
bugzilla..
