Hi Bryce, Currently using a homebrewed system which would be forgiving of change since it's automated with a Factory. If the change is worthwhile and others agree I have no problem with change.
I read your proposal yesterday. I think the main thing I don't fully agree with it is the external message handling. It might be just a pet peeve but I'd prefer a set of Zend_Validate_Error classes I can rely on to compose errors and integrate i18n translations easily without pushing more responsibility onto a controller. Ah, I'll comment on it later :). Otherwise it's solid and I definitely appreciate the work you put into it.

Specifically, I had proposed to change the default behavior all the standard validators to consider the empty string a valid value. Now, I've been operating under the assumption that hardly anyone is using the current Zend_Validate_* classes, due to the fact that it's a hassle to validate a lot of data at once. I figured that if few people were actually using these, then the cost of making this backward-incompatible change was low. The benefit of the change is that it would provide a lot of flexibility in the proposed Zend_Validate_Builder class. I may be way off base with my assumption here, so I'd like to find out how many of you are actually using the current Zend_Validate_* classes. Obviously, if a lot of people are, in fact, using them, then it's not feasible to make this proposed change.
