Suddenly confused about today's repeat index discussion

All,

We discussed today that nested repeats should keep their own index 
information. Fine so far.

But it dawned on me that John's first example was that of an 
xforms:insert. In the case where new newly inserted node happens to be 
part of a repeat node-set, then the UI will update with a new set of 
controls. Fine too, but that would include the information about the 
nested repeat index, wouldn't it?

So while this discussion of nested repeat keeping individual index 
information makes sense when talking about xforms:setindex, I am not 
sure how much sense it makes in the case of xforms:insert: the new 
repeat iteration's nested repeat's index will have to be initialized to 
something, and that will be @startindex +/- index adjustment.

Or am I missing something?

-Erik
