I think you're confusing 'protected' and 'package protection'.
//available to all descendants of current class:
protected Object myobject;
//available to all classes in same package (no private/protected/public
keyword)
Object myobject;

I don't believe that the subscripts are actually written into the html that
is produced. Rather, they are assigned when multiple values come back with
the same field name.
You don't need to muck with the html. You should be able to do what you
need to do by using nested CSpRepeateds.

I don't think you need these methods. I never heard of them until you
mentioned them. From a quick glance at the javadoc, it appears that they
are indeed internal methods. For the most part, I think ND has called it
right in determining which methods are public, and which are protected.
