In the repetition models I've implemented in the past (always tables)
I've provided a way to select a table row. This meant including either
a radio button or checkbox in the first column. When checked, the
entire row would be selected.
<input type="selector">

I think this name is very confusing. Personally I was thinking you were
suggesting a, when I read the subject, Selector (:last-child, etc.)
control.
<input type="select-block"> ?
I suggest introducing a new input type to facilitate the selection of
repetition blocks: <input type="selector">.
This would render as either a radio button or checkbox depending on an
additional constraint on the repetition template.
This does not seem to be very backwards compatible.
True. :-(
Wouldn't it be better to have some kind of global "label" attribute or
"for" which you could then apply on the html:tr element for example.
Actually, that's how I marked up this kind of thing in the past. I had
class="selector" on the first <td> of a table row.
When the selector control is checked it results in the repetition
block being selected (the CSS3 ":selected" pseudo class would apply).
repeat-selection="single|multiple"
==================================
If you just use radio and checkbox controls you would not need this.
But then you would have to script the actions of the radio/checkbox
controls. I'm looking for a declarative solution. Are you suggesting
using radio/checkbox controls and adding an attribute to them? Maybe
that is a better solution. It would certainly degrade better than a new
input type.
