Taking the example of XML, CSS, HTML, ECMAScript or other languages
(maybe the JVM, I don't know exactly), there is version numbers for
the specification, that are different of the version numbers of the
implementations. Even more, the version of the implementations is
most of the time unknown (what is the version of SpiderMonkey or V8
for ECMAScript x? We don't really know).
I think this only really matters if it's likely that the Zend
implementation diverges from the specification, such as by a feature
being implemented in HHVM and agreed to be standard, but no release of
Zend produced supporting that feature. And that in turn implies a
separate stewardship and decision-making process for the
implementation and the specification, which would be a major change in
process.
Or if an implementation has a bug, which will be the most common usecase
I think, no?
