Not really. I've taken a stab at reconciling the two with only diffs
and check-in messages to go on, but eventually ran out of steam when I
got a version that would pass doctest.py's internal tests, but wouldn't
pass Python's doctest tests.

The only real added feature in zope.testing's doctest I can think of is
the reST footnote support. The remainder, IIRC, are bug fixes of one
flavor or another.
