I don't consider it as a standard, maybe the leading tool yes (no idea
if it is or not), but not a standard. There is other good unit testing
tools out there (lime, simpletest to cite two). My point was that even
if phpUnit may be the leading unit tests tool for php, it is not a
php.net project. That applies to other PHP frameworks, applications,
etc.
