I believe the change came in ZendFramework 1.5, they use to allow
camelCase script names, you can still use a filter to get it. Funny
enough, I ended up changing View.php to allow me to turn on and off
Ztal's naming conventions via the application.ini file. Now that I am
thinking about it, perhaps the naming convention should have been
handled using the Zend_Filter_inflector, this way, I could have
overridden it in the same manner, without having to edit Ztal's code at
all.

I would love to have somewhere, I could go and see if someone already
created one. I remember someone doing a toHTML, and a nl2br in the
mailing list.
