Please note that at least some of those ideas (e.g. the universal constructor) are taken from Solar, which is comparable to ZF in structure and organization (and pre-dates ZF as well).  If you're considering ZF, you should consider Solar.

Here are some ways Solar is already in advance of ZF:

Someone mentioned the Cake ORM system; here is some info on the Solar ORM (which is use-at-will):

- <http://solarphp.com/manual/related> "Working With Related Models"

Hope that helps.
