The request details are in the request/form/itemname TALES expression,
so just put tal:attributes="value request/form/itemname | nothing" in
the tag. I can't tell you offhand how to check the values for things
like checkboxes, but I think it should be tal:attributes="checked
python:REQUEST.form['itemname'] == itemvalue", but I may be wrong.
