Ok, that works great but is really pretty inelegant, especially by
comparison to the rest of the system.

What would be wrong with allowing
<li sea:id="each/practiceTest">...  [remainingTries:each] </li>
or something similar? The parsing only needs to be able to pick up on
the local var name for this repeat (and any parents I suppose) which
ought not be much more difficult than all the work it does already,
surely?
