The decorators work by taking the output of the previous decorator and
prepending and/or appending new content. In your last example:
'ViewHelper' -> generates <input> tag
'Errors' -> appends errors, if any
'Description' -> appends description, if any
array('HtmlTag', -> takes the input, errors and description if
any,
array('tag'=>'td')) prepends <td>, appends </td>
array('Label', -> generates a <label class="element">,
array('tag'=>'td', wraps it in <td></td>, prepends
'class' => 'element')) it to the output of HtmlTag
array(array('row'=>'HtmlTag'), -> wraps the whole thing in <tr></tr>
array('tag'=>'tr'))
Note in the Label, it uses HtmlTag if you specify a tag, but it doesn't pass
any option to it aside from the tag itself. So you cannot set the class of
the tag this way. You have to specify different HtmlTag decorators for the
<td> wrappers of the label.
