The demo on http://whatwg.org/demos/repeat-01/ claims to have "server-side fallback for legacy clients". But the fallback doesn't work in IE6 - the form doesn't submit. Is this intended?

That's because IE has failed to default to type="submit" for unknown type attribute values. i.e. In current browsers, <button type="add"> and <button type="remove"> is supposed to equivalent to <button type="submit">. But in IE, it's equivalent to <button type="button">.

The functionality can still be provided using JavaScript, or alternatively implementing the buttons using conditional comments like this:

<!--[if !IE]>--><button type="add">Add (!IE)</button><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE]><button type="submit">Add (IE)</button><![endif]-->
