Thanks Bill.
The rest of your changes make sense to me.
Question: in a list of checkboxes I assume we just use ATK_ROLE_CHECK_BOX
instead of ATK_ROLE_LIST_ITEM. What about in a tree view with checkable
items? Don't use ROLE_TREE_ITEM, but use ATK_ROLE_CHECK_BOX there as well?

We have ATK_ROLE_CHECK_MENU_ITEM and ATK_ROLE_RADIO_MENU_ITEM for these
sorts of situations; these imply "CHECKABLE".
On a similar note, we have ATK_STATE_EXPANDABLE for items with
expanders, not sure if they ever appear in menus or not.
