There can be good reason to include the name attribute on submits. E.g. your
form might contain two submit buttons ('Approve' and 'Reject'), and you use
the submitted name in order to determine which was pressed.
My preference would be for Zend_Form to use the array notation by default.
This would solve this problem and also be more consistent with other
frameworks (that I've used anyway). But of course this would break BC, so
could only be introduced with version 2.0.
