input[checkbox] doesn't catch checked in scope directive

[reivaxm]

The attribute "checked" is not recovered in the scope of a directive.
This seems broken since version 1.4.4

Seems to have been caused by 6f3b862 in combination with replace: true (if you remove replace, it works). Since replace is deprecated, I wouldn't hold out for a fix. If you want to provide a PR that fixes it, I'll be happy to take a look.

Oh, i also works if you use a different name for the checked attribute: https://plnkr.co/edit/yHiTck5stWNkhASsWA7t?p=preview
It's possible that checked is somehow special cased by the browser.

The problem is that checked is a BOOLEAN attribute and Angular is converting it to a boolean value rather than leaving it as a string...

This is the relevant commit: 8a1eb16

So since we always convert boolean attributes to a boolean value, you cannot use interpolation inside them as this will always be converted to true.
A simple workaround for you @reivaxm is to use $attr in your link function and write out the scope property manually... https://plnkr.co/edit/F6s1b50tHxsl5DQkeNlw?p=preview
But I have a basic fix coming anyway...

Ah, I was looking for this previous commit. Note that the plnkr only fails once you go to 1.4.4, though.
