I think the problem is that you're approcahing this from the wrong
angle.  Instead of iterating over list indices, iterate over the list
items themselves:

<li tal:repeat="item request/form/myval">
  <input type="text" name="mylist:list" value=""
    tal:attributes="value item">
</li>


Hope this helps,
Brent
