Dan,
Not really sure if this is what you want.  But i've done stuff like:

<form action="showRequest">
   <tal:block repeat="num python: range(10)">
   <input type="checkbox"
           class="noborder"
           tal:attributes="name python:'checkBox'+ str(num);">

  </tal:block>
    <input type="submit" value="test me!">    
  </form>
  </body>

When showRequest is called, it displays just the selected checkboxes like:

 checkBox0    'on'
checkBox2    'on'
checkBox4    'on'
checkBox7    'on'

hth,
David
