As the documentation for missing_optional_valid states, it is to cover
"optional fields with empty values". Despite the name, by intent it does
not cover completely missing values.  The nature of checkboxes is
related-- unlike a text field a checkbox won't submit anything if it is
not checked. ( Rather than submitting the name with no value, there will
be nothing ).

So, setting defaults in combination with checkboxes is recommended. It's
something I do myself.
