I'm aware of that; I haven't had a chance to work up more advanced use
cases and examples for this bit of functionality yet.

You'll probably want to store the data from validating the subform in
your session so you can retrieve it later; otherwise, your data will be
lost. There's a variety of ways to do that -- using $_SESSION directly,
or using Zend_Session -- so I won't go into details.
