I recommend creating a form wide decorator that meets the need of each element.
Here's an example:
class Core_Form_NewAccount extends ZF_form
{
public $textDecorators = array('ViewHelper', array(array('data' =>
'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'dd')), array('Label', array('tag' => 'dt')),
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'dl')));
$this->addElement('text', 'fname', array(
'label' => '*First Name',
'required' => true,
'decorators' => $this->textDecorators
));
You may need to use 'decorators' => self::$textDecorators if it is a real
subForm but other than that, not sure why you'd have an issue. There should
"decorate", therefore build onto the output of your form class.

Razorblade, Wilson Revehl,
Helpful and insightful.
I now have this...
$subForm->setElementDecorators(array(
array(array('dd' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'dd')),
array(array('dt' => 'Label'), array('tag' => 'dt')),
array(array('dl' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'dl')),
));
$subForm->setDecorators(array(
array('elem' => 'FormElements'),
array('form' => 'Form'),
array('fset' => 'Fieldset'),
));
... which gives perfect markup.
Problem is the <dt><label> tag is fully populated but the corresponding <dd> is
empty.
The labels are there, where are the matching form elements?
