[html-formfu] nested repeatables not showing data

[Ascii King]

Woot! Preliminary tests show that the code is working now. Bless you! My 
entire job just got a lot easier. I have tested the code against my app 
and it seems to read the data in, but won't save it.  I will test a bit 
more.

I have written a write test, and I will work on a read test.
