Hi, Norman,

the only way to separate them is to specify their index on the form.
(Conveniently twill fails to give you that index... ;) I will put
in a patch tonight.

Nonetheless you should be able to do something like this:

	fv 1 2 "input"

The '2' is the number of the 1st 'data' textarea.  (Indices count from 1
up.)

A better question -- one I don't know the answer to -- is, what is going
to happen on the submit?  And what *should* happen?  Multiple fields
with the same name can't be distinguished in the POST, right?
