Okay, the Checkbox element's value() now defaults to "1".
(and also the Radio element, which inherits from Checkbox)

I think it's likely anyone's been using it without setting the
value(), so it shouldn't have any negative effects.

I've also updated Model/DBIC, so if the checkbox is unchecked, and the
column is NOT NULL - it now gets set to 0 (zero), rather than the
DEFAULT VALUE.

Can you check the tests in trunk/HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC/t/x_roundtrip/
[1] and verify that they do what you want?
Specifically, the config now doesn't require either value() or
default_empty_value() set.
