Re: [orca-list] Your opinion on radio button and check box presentation?

[Robert Cole <rkcole72984 gmail com>]

Admittedly, it can be an annoyance. I thnk that there is some unwritten 
"Coder's Code" as to why the states "selected" and "checked" are used 
for these two different kinds of buttons, but it does feel inconsistent 
to me. Someone out there may have a different case scenario, but I think 
that "selected" and  "not selected" would be fine across check boxes and 
radio buttons.
