It's not sufficient to state that 'checked' is a Boolean. (Actually this isn't just Boolean since we can just use  <input type="checkbox" checked> without giving it true or false values.) Also it's not clear whether checked="true" or checked=true are allowed.

I'd also suggest that on of the examples has the 'checked' attribute, e.g.:
<input type="checkbox" id="cbox2" value="second_checkbox" checked>
I agree with you that this could be better written.

I've made some updates - let me know if you think this is better now.
