Historical reasons, I guess.

I've now pushed a patch introducing the new property `:cbtrans' for
those check-boxes. Sadly, it will only work with exporters making use of
list parsing, that is only the LaTeX exporter so far.

Btw, is there any consensus on better default values for :cbon, :cboff
and :cbtrans? Configurability isn't an excuse for ugly standards.

Regards,
