I read that we can now add a checkbox or a radio behavior to a button group (http://markdotto.com/bs2/docs/javascript.html#buttons)

That's great, but I think it would be better if we could use as underlying markup actual HTML checkboxes and actual HTML radio buttons, i.e :

It implies re-styling completely the input field.

This would allow to use button groups in forms.
And no javascript would be required to get the wanted behavior, the browsers would be handling it.
