it's deprecated, as in soon to be obsolete, not depreciated, as in having
less value.  sorry, pet peeve.

yes, but not as widely supported and can be quite quirky at times.

actually, it seems that no matter what the value is the browser will set the
checkbox to checked, even if the value is false.  so, it's really an all or
nothing sort of thing.  if you don't want it checked, you omit the attribute
altogether.  otherwise, including it will mean the browser should render it
as checked.  i checked in both win/ie6 and win/firebird and they both
behaved identically.

when it comes to the value being boolean, i think that only applies in
scripting:

oForm.myCheckbox.checked = true;
oForm.myCheckbox.checked = false;
