The parsing of input field names when merging requests is deliberately
limited to the following:

        name          ::= identifier | list-backdoor | tree-backdoor
        identifier    ::= identifier (("." identifier) | ("[" number "]"))*
        list-backdoor ::= operation "," iter
        tree-backdoor ::= operation "," iter "," alias

This is from the documentation:

        http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/albatross/albatross/mixin-namespace.html

You could probably replace the:

        <al-input type="text" name="row[row.mFld.mVal.NAME]"/>

With:

        <al-input type="text" nameexpr="'row[%d]' % row.mFld.mVal.NAME"/>

This would make cause the template to generate input field with names
like row[0], row[1], etc.  The request merging will understand these
input field names.
