By the way TL;DR; from that Github thread:

It= seems that Markdown by default does not support read only checkboxes, and = Github would not implement this behavior because they want to keep compatib= ility with other implementations of Markdown:=A0https://github.com/githu= b/markup/issues/208#issuecomment-24927799

I think that Org mode markup syntax is still in the sta= ge where we can be liberal enough to change this kind of behavior which wou= ld be gladly received by many people (I hope!), specially since this would = change only the HTML output.

Some feedback on that thread on a feature like th= is:
- "+1 for readonly (checkboxes). It cannot be that= hard..." =3D> https://github.com/github/markup/issues/20= 8#issuecomment-27712872
- "+1, i cannot live without checkboxes in readme!&q= uot; =A0=3D> https://github.com/github/markup/issues/208#issuecomment= -27713464

So +1 on changing this behavior in Org mode markup itself, since t= here is already user demand which would validate this usage.

Is there a simple way to do this that I've overlooked?
