Okay, let me see how I can roll over you! ;-)

Perhaps you can suggest a simple way to do something like the following:

<dtml-if "REQUEST.form.has_key('foo')">
  <dtml-let previouslyEnteredValue="REQUEST.form['foo']>
     <input type=text ... value="&dtml-previouslyEnteredValue;">
  </dtml-let>
<dtml-else>
     <input type=text ... value="">
</dtml-if>
