Has anyone out there built their Zend Form's with their configuration files? I'm thinking that this wouldn't be a bad idea since I could then have other applications/languages parse/create/modify a form (e.g. a zend form builder application.) I'm sure there are some downsides to this. Anyone had any experience doing this?

If you use Zend_Config to construct Zend_Form you will have to parse the INI file; this is extremely marginal performance decrease. The increase in clarity and isolation of the configuration outweigh these disadvantages. Do keep in mind if you ever extend Zend_Form to add more functionality you may need to extend the setOptions() method to support your changes.
