Stuff like this happens all the time.  That's why RFC 2026 requires, "a 
specification from which at least two independent and interoperable 
implementations from different code bases have been developed".

To drag this back on topic, however, it's interesting to note that Python 
itself has been successful, while still being essentially a single 
implementation.
