I have been assigned as the Zend lead for a Zend_Form component, and am currently reviewing the existing proposals as well as solutions in other frameworks and languages. The current consensus is that the form component will collect form elements, which will each have their own validations, filters, and renderers (i.e., you will be able to specify the view helper used to render a form element). However, the form component will initially be de-coupled from models as we don't have any generalized solution for models yet (specific models exist already, of course, in such components as Zend_Service, Zend_Db, Zend_XmlRpc_Client, etc). In internal discussions, we've talked about the possibility of adding form generation from models, and any solution we adopt for a form component will be flexible enough to make this possible. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney PHP Developer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend - The PHP Company | http://www.zend.com/
