Many webmail have a checkbox with something like this:

<form>
<input type="checkbox" onclick="anotherform.checked=this.checked">1<br>
<input id="anotherform" type="checkbox" 
onclick="anotherform.checked=this.checked">2
</form>

Clicking on the checkbox 1 should always set the second checkbox to the same 
value. If you process the javascript events first, the this.checked will 
return a wrong value...

I don't think your patch adresses this issue.
