The design of Zend_Filter_Input assumes that you do know the fields that you are processing, and you should only use data that has been both filtered and validated. Therefore one probably should never use the getUnknown() method at all, except to detect inconsistencies between the form input and the validation code (i.e. someone added a field to the HTML form without adding it to the validation routine).
