Tri-state checkboxes?

Is there anything in HTML today, or perhaps in the near future that
would support the tri-state checkboxes that Windows sometimes uses (in
the third state, the box is filled with a green "wash")

but it's not clear whether disabling matches your desired third state.
With the passage of time I've already forgotten exactly what I wanted it
for. The three states that sprint to mind might be:

1. I definitely want it
2. I definitely don't want it
3. I'll go with the recommended or default choice

However, I'd end up filling space with a wordy explanation of what the
third state (neither checked nor unchecked) actually means (which is
more than Microsoft have done in the few examples of such a control that
I've come across). I seem to recall it was in the area of folder
permissions, where "inherit from parent folder" fits the bill.
