My guess is that minivend just stops looking for quantity 
attribute as soon as it finds first.  You'd have to dig
through the code to know for sure.

If it were to stack the variables they would be in same 
string and you could split it /\000/.  Nor is it obvious
just how minivend **should** interpret multiple quantities 
for the same instance of the same item.

Maybe you could use javascript to set a third HIDDEN 
[quantity-name][item-quantity] physically earlier in the form.
We would do something like that in the **subsequent** page, 
interating through the item array and blowing away the duplicate.
