I agree that they have the same number of states, but I think the 
differences between them are far greater than the command used to toggle 
state.

Obvious differences are that checkboxes don't show in the agenda and to 
my knowledge they can't be scheduled/deadlined etc...  They also 
(perhaps by convention more than anything else) indicate an ordered or 
unordered list, which outlines (at least for me) don't.

After thinking about it; I have on occasion wanted to schedule a 
checkboxed item into the agenda.  This said I'm not convinced supporting 
this is a good idea.  Does anyone else have any views?
