Just because a class is stateless doesn't mean you should necessarily
make it static. If you need later to make it stateful, the static
members will get in your way; if you later need to extend it, static
members can often make extension difficult.
Since Zend_View allows you to simply access the helper directly, just
create a regular helper. You can always instantiate it without Zend_View
and utilize it.
