Re: [fw-mvc] Re: [fw-general] [fw-mvc] - Zend_Config_Xml with attributes

You can have multiple nodes with the same name. This is equal to the
ini-notation

item[] = a
item[] = b

Note that Zend_Config convert this into an array, but if you use Xml and
you have only a single node with this name, it will _not_ convert it

<item>a</item> <!-- string -->

<item>a</item> <!-- array key 0 -->
<item>b</item> <!-- array key 1 -->
