Hi --
you're correct in that there is no way to reassemble a list
of items on the server because of how WWW form post works
today.
However there is nothing inside the specification for repeat
that claims we preserve order --perhaps we should make it
even clearer.
Incidentally I'm surprized you raised this in connection
with repeat --and not selectMany --both have the same
problem --only difference is that selectMany is populating
a schema list --repeat is populating something with more
substructure

Best Regards,
