Re: UAIG requires checkable object attribute for aria-pressed

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..
