A form element like

<input checked readonly="true" name="pA1A" id="pA1A" type="checkbox" />

can be changed. Readonly only works for input of type text and textarea.
Accoring to the HTML 4.01 Specification:

"The following elements support the readonly attribute: INPUT and TEXTAREA."

So readonly should apply to checkboxes and radio buttons too.

(IE also doesn't prevent readonly checkboxes and radion buttons to be changed.
However, HTML 4.01 doesn't describe how to make <select readonly.)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Click on the checkbox and it will change

Expected Results:  
Ignored the click
