To be clear, setLayout() will be part of a separate class, Zend_Layout. Zend_View will not have any concept of layouts by itself. Layouts as created in most frameworks are simply views with placeholders for content -- in other words, a decorator for an application view. Zend_Layout will operate in a similar fashion, and register a plugin with dispatchLoopShutdown() to perform its work. Layout support was not done for 1.0.0 as we'd only just finalized things like integrated view support for controllers (via the ViewRenderer), and action helpers -- the building blocks on which a layout solution will be based. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney PHP Developer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend - The PHP Company | http://www.zend.com/
