Thanks Damien, you were absolutely correct. I had looked into that but 
had thought it hadn't worked since a rather obscure error popped up when 
I tried it. The error turned out to be a documented bug in the version 
of albatross I'm using, and now it works as expected! Thanks!

Before I go I have one extra question:

Why doesn't <al-expand> support the nameexpr attribute?

E.g.

<al-for expr="somearray" iter="row">
    <al-expand nameexpr="row.value()">
</al-for>
