Tim,

I use an XHTML DOCTYPE in which the checked attribute is:

         ON:  checked="checked"
         OFF: checked=""

I can treat it as any other attribute/value pair, toggling the value and 
not the existence of the attribute itself.

I haven't tried this with regular HTML but you might want to see if that 
works with that DOCTYPE as well.
