Interesting, thanks. I was not aware of any other implementations.
From reading a bit of the site, it seems that the objective is full
agreement with the Zend implementation, so, for the moment, there is
still a single implementation that is the ultimate reference. Any
disagreement in results will be seen as a bug for now (and quite a few
such bugs are listed).
