Consider the following fragment

<input type='checkbox' name='checky' value='x' bind/>
<input type='checkbox' name='checky' value='y' bind/>
<p> checky is @{checky}</p>

'checky' will be set to either true or false. This is not correct behaviour. According to the HTML specification, the data type for a checkbox is "A set of zero or more values from a predefined list."

This can be mitigated somewhat by using $bind="{type:'string'}", but still fails because 'checky' can be both 'x' and 'y'. In HTML, checkboxes are functionally equivalent to multiple select controls (which BTW, are also faulty).

Thank you for your time and efforts.

Consider the following fragment

<select multiple='multiple' name='selly' bind>
<option value='a'>A</option>
<option value='b'>B</option>
</select>
<p> selly is @{selly}</p>

In operation, I can select either A, B or both A and B. The state variable selly, however, can only be either 'a' or 'b', not both.

Thank you for your time and efforts.
