And if you want it in the input element itself, you can do

<input type="text" name="whatever" value="something like this" 
tal:attributes="value request/whatever | default" />

which reads as "...and replace the attribute 'value' with the contents 
of the request parameter 'whatever' or leave the parameter alone if 
there is no such parameter."
