At the moment I disagree with this a bit as written above --
shouldn't the control name have a [] or something to indicate that
it's an array?

Also, I think we'd need to update the InputToHTML() function
to be able to handle arrays (since the whole purpose of
$InputValues is to be able to set things to be used by
(:input:) controls).
