Not really, I add $editForm, which is a Club_Person_Form_Edit (extended
Zend_Form) wrapped in $newPersonSubForm, a Zend_Form_Subform, to my form.
But inside Club_Person_Form_Edit I have a display group 'buttons' which
contains save and reset button. I want to remove this display group from
$editForm to avoid to save buttons being rendered.
I already managed to get this working by removing each item inside the
display group separately which is quite logical if I think about it because
a display group just groups items visually and is not an element container
itself (as for example a Zend_Form_Subfrom).

The other question still is: What's the best practice to include one form
into another having the included form namespaced somehow (array-notation)?
Is it the right way to wrap the desired form into a Zend_Form_Subform or is
there another way, e.g. using setElementBelongsTo() or something like that.
And then another question arises... If I do the form inclusion like I
described above, all form elements get namespaced correctly (array notation)
but the generated fieldset-ids remain untouched which could cause duplicate
ids inside to page. Is there a way to give those fieldsets a namespace?
I hope it's understandable what I'm trying to do ;-)
Best regards
Stefan
