Well, the abstract validation class facilitates automatic error message translation, if you're using
a translator. It simply checks a few common places to see if there is a translation instance
registered; one of these being Zend_Registry.
You can disable this lookup by passing true to the setDisableTranslator method of a validator,
however this, unfortunately is only available as an instance method. Likely, it wouldn't really help
you much.
I agree it's somewhat unfortunate that there are these occasional registry lookups. It is
extraordinarily wasteful (if you're not using the registry) to load a class and instantiate an
object, just to find out something you're not even using isn't there.
I have a feeling that this will be changing over the next couple of releases. Since there's now
unified way of instantiating and managing resources with 1.8, hopefully all these older holdovers
will be eventually eliminated.
