the way we solved this was to create a hidden field for each checkbox that
holds the value that would be sent if the checkbox were to be checked. I
then compare the full value array sent by the hidden values with the partial
array sent by the checkboxes to see which ones were checked and which
weren't.
Both of these, of course, are inside a <logic:iterate> block.
