 Custom checkboxes are created by applying the `.slds-checkbox` class to a `<label>` element.

The `<input>` is then visually hidden, and the styling is placed on a span with the `.slds-checkbox_faux` class.

 As SLDS checkboxes rely on the `:checked` pseudo selector, and the indeterminate state is only accessible via JavaScript, the use of a CSS class on the input will be necessary to implement this in SLDS. Use JavaScript to add the class when the indeterminate property is set to true on the input.

 When disabling a radio button, either the entire group must be disabled or if only some radio buttons are disabled, then the checked radio button cannot be disabled.
