Thanks for your answers to my questions. It is a good point about being able to drop portions ZF into other code. We have existing websites that are going to receive additons and changes for years to come and will make up a large proportion of our overall coding time for some time yet. There could be gains to being able to use portions of our choosen framework (if we use ZF) in these projects aswell.
