A better solution would be to rename Zend_Config to Zend_Config_Array, which is a better description of what it does. Then make Zend_Config a top-level configuration loading class that auto-detects the appropriate adapter for any given file based on extension, loads all files in a given set of directories, and merges them as necessary. -Matt
