This I find rather confusing. Zend_Form_Element::addError() has the
following description: "Add an error message and mark element as failed
validation". This implies that Zend_Form_Element::addError() also sets the
element to fail validation. The method Zend_Form_Element::addErrorMessage()
on the other hand has the following description: "Add a custom error message
to return in the event of failed validation" Which seems to be a more
accurate description of what you explained.
On another note, Zend_Form::addError() and Zend_Form::addErrorMessage() has
the same descriptions with the word "element" in them, which makes the
matter even more confusing.
And to make matters even a bit worse, Zend_Form_Element::addError() calls
Zend_Form_Element::markAsError() which has the following description: "Mark
the element as being in a failed validation state".
This leads me to believe that addError() was meant to actually make
validation fail, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
