WHATWG Web Forms 2.0 Repetition Model Implementation

Weston Ruter has created a cross-browser JavaScript implementation of the WHATWG Web Forms 2.0 Repetition Model after taking to heart the spec that annotates:
The entire model can be emulated purely using JavaScript and the DOM. With such a library, this model could be used and down-level clients could be supported before user agents implemented it ubiquitously. Creating such a library is left as an exercise for the reader.
A simple example is:
PLAIN TEXT
HTML:
  2. <tr id="order" repeat="template">
  3. <td><input type="text" name="row[order].product" value=""/></td>
  4. <td><input type="text" name="row[order].quantity" value="1"/></td>
  5. </tr>
Read the spec for more details, such as the add/delete/moveup/movedown features.
