Yes, this works:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-html-checkbox (checkbox)
  "Format CHECKBOX into HTML."
  (case checkbox (on "<input type=\"checkbox\" checked />")
  (off "<input type=\"checkbox\" />")
  (trans "<code>[-]</code>")
  (t "")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
