How to use "merchant-private-item-data"?

Hi, In new-order-notification.xml in the examle XML demos, I
saw this
snippet of code:

        <merchant-private-item-data>
          <my-data>
            <weight>1.5</weight>
            <color>white</color>
            <item-note>Popular item: Check inventory
and order more if
needed</item-note>
          </my-data>
        </merchant-private-item-data>

So it's possible for checkout to carry data sent in the
order process
and hand it back to the server. But how does one, with an
HTML form,
send this data in the first place?

Something along the lines of

<input type="hidden"
name="merchant-private-item-data"
value="test"/>

I would guess? Please advise, thanks.

Matt.

However this line of code still isn't working

<input type="hidden"
name="shopping-cart.items.item.merchant-private-
item-data.my-data.eventid" value="4" />

even though there is only one item and therefore i shouldn't
need to
specify an item number.

you have to specify the item number explicitly, even if
there's only one.
and you can't specify new "xml tags" with the
'dot' syntax of the html
api, you have to put your data directly in the 'value'
attribute.
try something like this:

<input type="hidden"
name="shopping-cart.items.item-1.merchant-private-item-
data"
value="eventid=4" />

perhaps embed xml or whatever:

value="<my-data><eventid>4</eventid>&
lt;/my-data"
