Hi, Just to clarify what "Layout" means? - I'm being told elsewhere that Zend_Layout is being accepted but I assume there's no proposal acceptance yet. I mean we have three varying methods of doing layouts - Zend_View Enhanced, Zend_Layout, and Matthew's Two-Step View - which differ primarily in how and where in the V and C they are executed. It got lost a while back in all the noise generated by the debate between me and Ralph which ended rather abruptly on the list but I'd like to see some consideration towards implementing both. The reasoning is simple enough - both are non-conflicting methods and each facilitates a preferred MVC practice in the community. Both current proposals are also not equal in scope and goals - another point seemingly lost is that Layouts is just one part of Zend_View Enhanced proposes.
Those of us preferring View Helpers for reading Models into a View would usually prefer a simpler decorator approach in Zend_View that leaves the Controller out of the equation - we don't really want to be forced to use a multiple Controllers in place of a simple 25 line decorator nor to return to the status quo where we have to subclass Zend_View, adopt a Two-Step View (another custom plugin) or just take a leap and replace it altogether. Contrary to the growing belief, both Layout strategies shouldn't be considered as being in competition. I said very early on that implementing both could be a major plus to the community, and this should be given some weight going forward.

Specifically I'd like to see when Zend_Layout is coming out. I was told it would be included in 1.1, but when is that due out? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.
