Description
The action view helper is mostly used totally wrong (I never knew any actual use-case for it). Instead of using view helpers or models, people start to use actions as reusable units. If there's actually a use-case for the action view helper, it should be mentioned in the documentation, for what it actually is for, else I'd suggest to remove it (in 2.0, to keep BC before), and probably yet mark it as deprecated (see ZF-8170).

In my opinion, Dolf is right. Move this discussion to the mailinglist.
Personaly i avoid using the action view helper, because of the very big dispatch overhead. Better remove it and talk about a smaller and faster solution. Just my two cents.
There are a lot of discussions in Blogs, Forums and Chats with the topic "reusable content" or "widget problem". Every discussion leads to a "new" solution. I'am wondering a lot that the manual is missing this important topic.
Hopefully we will see a clear solution in 2.0. 
Though it fits perfectly in the use-at-will spirit of ZF, I do think that it costs way too much resources (as I recall right, it does an entire dispatch..), and asks for bad design. Therefore, let's get rid of it
