Describe the issue

on https://boosted.orange.com/docs/5.1/forms/checks-radios/#switches page, we need to remove the role=switch on these switches because role=switch needs to be used with an aria-check attribute
So to be more robust and to ensure more progressive enhancement, just remove the role=switch

Hi @Aniort,

This change was provided by Bootstrap with some interesting discussions about it here.

TLDR :

• The role=switch have been approved in Bootstrap following the advices of w3c recommendations :

input type=checkbox	role=checkbox	Roles: menuitemcheckbox, option or switch; button if used with aria-pressed. Authors SHOULD NOT use the aria-checked attribute on input type=checkbox elements. Otherwise, any global aria-* attributes and any aria-* attributes applicable to the allowed roles. Note The HTML checked attribute can be used instead of the aria-checked attribute for menuitemcheckbox, option or switch roles when used on type=checkbox.

They also based their opinion on MDN first link, MDN second link and on w3c recommendations. To summarize, role=switch should be added to each switch but <input> have a checked="" attribute that has its own semantic and that's why <input> don't need aria-checked attribute.

What do you think about it ? Do we need to keep these changes ?

According to @Aniort , the aria-checked attribute is not needed in a switch which is in a input type="checkbox" so we can keep Bootstrap's version.

after futher more readings, we can close this PR because Bootstrap has made a good choice for the switches, so let's resume like that !
