I've now changed ox-html.el to include this:

(defun org-html-checkbox (checkbox)
   "Format CHECKBOX into HTML."
   (case checkbox (on "&#9746;")
     (off "&#9744;")
     (trans "&#9745;")
     (t "")))


This is sort of close to using
  [ ] for unchecked
  [/] for partially checked
  [X] for checked

To my aging eyes, the check in U#9745 looks almost like a forward slash. 
Certainly, though, this would be potentially confusing, especially if no 
[X] boxes were present, so that only [ ] or [/] were visible.
