    <p>This is a very good idea, IMHO. The more Zend_View_Helpers we have, the faster we can assemble templates.</p>

    <p>Similarly, we could also have: </p>

    <ul class="alternate">
    <li>Zend_View_Helpers_Javascript</li>
    <li>Zend_View_Helpers_Css</li>
    </ul>

    <p>which return HTML to link in a JS and CSS file respectively.</p>

      and <br />
      CSS <a class="external-link" href="http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.initial.headstyle">http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.initial.headstyle</a></p>

    <ac:macro ac:name="note"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">Zend Comments</ac:parameter><ac:rich-text-body>
    <p>This proposal is accepted for development in the standard/incubator, with the following notes and conditions:</p>

    <ul>
    <li>'object' is a keyword, so having a function object() will cause issues to the PHP interpreter. Additionally, the current convention is to prefix HTML-specific helpers with the keyword 'html'; we suggest renaming the 'object' view helper to Zend_View_Helper_HtmlObject();</li>
    <li>Currently, the formElement() abstract view helper includes methods for escaping HTML attribute values. We recommend you work with the ZF internal team to abstract this functionality out to an htmlElement() abstract helper that these proposed helpers could extend.</li>
    </ul>
