Glad to hear that; H:W is, in my eyes, a little rough around the edges

"natural" way to do things is.

I should perhaps also mention that in general I'm very happy with H:W
:-)

I though it might be something like that - makes sense, if used that
way, I can see.

If that also influences the default 'checked'-state of checkboxes (and
also for the other kinds of states, radio-buttons, selects), I would
be happy as a clam, yes.
