Take a look at this article of Bruce Eckel. His is talking about 90% for
the same.
In the article, he describes writing a vastly simplified representation
of XML because he found xml.dom.minidom too cumbersome for simple tasks.
Although there are situations where a stripped-down version of an
existing library is helpful. These libraries are usually only useful to
you and people whose tasks meet the limitations of your library.
With something standardised (like XML), including it in a public library
such as the Zend Framework is going to draw the expectation that it meet
the standard and not come attached with a series of limitations.
(Add to it that there's already a faster, compliant version of it that
come with most installs...)
