We're not talking about *whether* something gets sent to the server
for a checkbox.  That depends on whether it is in state "on" or "off",
which is toggled by the user.

We're only talking about *what* gets sent *if* something gets sent.
The similarity between the string "on" that may be sent to the server
and the notation "on" for one state of the toggle is purely coincidental.
