[html-formfu] Different attributes for the first record in a repeatable block

[Ascii King]

I believe the output of a Repeatable is wrapped in div tag. I use the 
following code to generate a div tag.

    - type: Repeatable
      nested_name: appointments
      counter_name: appointment_count
      attributes:
        class: ShawnTest
        id: appointment_count
      elements:

This outputs:
<div class="ShawnTest" id="appointment_count">

This is wrapped around all of the elements in the Repeatable block.

Thanks for the tip about the first-child. I tested it, but couldn't get 
it to work. I will have to read up on it.
