Thanks for the patch! I've incorporated it and made some small changes,
as noted below.

I've changed both to be type [bool] instead of [string], and I added an
Ur/Web parsing extension to allow the usual HTML syntax, without having
to provide a value for the attribute.
I also undid your addition of attribute 'value' for checkboxes. That
attribute breaks the Ur/Web abstraction of a checkbox as generating a
Boolean value; it's nonsensical to allow assigning a string value. Some
real-world use cases of checkbox 'value' might come from having multiple
checkboxes in one form with the same name, but the Ur/Web standard
library currently rules out duplicate checkbox names at compile time!

I've now added old-school and AJAX versions of all the new HTML5 widgets
that I learned about. I'll be interested to know what you think of the
interface.
