I think the point is the same as with Zend_Validate_Interface ; While MyFramework\Helpers is a fair namespace, Array is a bad classname. You should use something like MyFramework\Helpers\ArrayHelper FWIW Zend_Validate_Interface looks odd to me today already, for that reason exactly. I read two namespaces and a classname, and that classname doesn't make much sense. -- troels
