You might say -- would you not ? -- that a model class might extend
Zend_Db_Table_Abstract or Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract, but not

a Things class and a Thing class. The plural, for operations like
batch inserts, locating rows. The latter for data validation,
updates, etc. I don't mind thus binding myself to a db backend
because that is the way this app is going to be.
I agree completely. Some of my models extend Zend_Db_Table_Abstract/
Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract and some don't
