I'm creating a checkbox drop-down list for use in a web app. This type of widget is not standard #HTML. But it should be, given the amount of #GUI libraries that implement it.

The problem is #accessibility and #usability. We can get quite far using nothing but carefully crafted #css and #ariaroles. Several excellent proofs of concept exist.

But none of them are completely successful. And I think the only way to get it done right, is by adding it to the HTML forms recommendation.
