That's the intent of the PrimaryKeyEncoder: to provide client/server synchronization so that TextFields inside Loops inside a Form can connect, when the client-side form is submitted, to equivalent server-side objects.
The TextField components (and other form control element components) understand how to operate inside a loop correctly. On each pass through the loop, they render again, with a unique @name and @id attribute. There are some examples for this inside the Tapestry integration suite. I'm afraid real documentation isn't ready yet.
