Yes, there seems to be universal agreement on how to do this kinda stuff 
nowadays, except maybe in the JAVA camp ;)

I'd not use the ZEND library but implement our own, which is fun anyway.

A few comments:

1. What's in the class.tx_articles_singleView.php file if it's *not* the 
controller?

2. DRY! Why do you have the class path both in the filename and the 
path? The path offers enough information already.

3. There is nothin in the model dir as the model is completely defined 
in ext_tables.php, tca.php, etc. Move those into models.

4. The /test/ dir is missing ;)

Greetings,
