A little late but thought I'd throw it in anyway for the benefit of the community.

Aine has hit the nail on the head. FormNote is what you need if you want to use text in Zend_Form. However, you can use it without needing to extend Zend_Form_Element_Xhtml. See example below:

$text = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('myformnote');
$text->setValue("Text goes here")
     ->helper = 'formNote';

Note that you can use both text and html with the formNote helper.
