[Accessibility] [Accessibility-ia2] IA2_STATE_CHECKABLE

[Pete Brunet]

I'm tweaking it again.  Please review...

Indicates that an object is checkable. The standard checkable objects
are check boxes, radio buttons, check box menu items, radio menu items,
and toggle buttons.  Since assistive technology will determine that
these objects are checkable via the object's role the checkable state is
not required.  However, this state is necessary in those cases where an
object has a role which is not one of the previously mentioned roles but
does have the behavior of having two states.  An example is a table cell
which indicates whether or not an email has an attachment, whether or
not an mail is considered spam, and whether or not an email has been read.
