Hi John,

That's what I did. I used the IANA table only in unit tests to compare 
against my own calculations.

Hi Sam,

You can test against my implementation if you like.  
https://github.com/tom--/precis

The really tricky part remains open for me: test vectors with strings, 
not characters, that exercise _all_ the normative PRECIS logic. 
Unfortunately I don't have much time for this work atm.
