Note that both checkboxes have the checked attribute which means, in
standards compliant browsers, that their checked attribute will always
return "checked" until set to some other value. Their checked property
will return boolean true or false depending on whether the control is
checked or not.
IE is not standards compliant in this regard. It returns boolean true
or false for both property and attribute depending on whether the
control is checked or not (respectively). See below.

As far as I can tell, Prototype.js uses the checked property so it
should get it right.
For fun, try the following in various browsers and compare results:
