It is scheduled for the next minor release (1.5.0). Please see the
composite Zend_Form proposal for more information on its scope:

The reason is that 1.0.0 focussed on getting the framework foundations
in place; Zend_Layout and Zend_Form build on top of those foundations in
order to do their work. Yes, not having them detracts from the value of
the framework -- but the other option would have been to put off having
a stable API for the framework for another year, which is an even less
desirable solution.
As it is, Layouts can be achieved easily with the existing plugin
system. Forms are trickier, though... but, as you mention, you can use
other solutions from other libraries until Zend_Form is released.
I invite you to test out Zend_Layout and Zend_View Enhanced, both of
which are stable and in the svn trunk. When Zend_Form starts finding its
way into the incubator and eventually core, please test it as well; this
will likely be within the upcoming weeks.
