The other option is to use "yes" and "no" radio buttons instead of checkboxes, where the radio buttons default to "no". That way, the field always exists, but you still get the difference between 1 and 0. Checkbox that is unchecked really doesn't exist in the POST, so the CFIF solution is pretty much required otherwise, yes.
