So they're neither modules nor plugins. I'm a bit confused what zend means by modules and plugins. In zend, the 2 don't seem to be the same, but in the outside world plugins = modules.

Modules in ZF-lingo generally refer to things such as a "shopping cart module" or "guestbook module" - in other words, they are a group of controllers, views and related helpers or models which make up a certain functionality. Plugins usually refer to front controller plugins (also called just controller plugins), which are used to execute code in specific phases of the request cycle.
