Oscar,

Keep in mind I did not provide all the decimal places for
thei input values.  With the full precision given, I get dead
on to the two decimal places normally reported by cs2cs.

cs2cs +proj=latlong +ellps=intl +to +proj=tmerc +x_0=80000 +y_0=100000
+lon_0=6d10 +lat_0=49d50 +ellps=intl +k=1
5d55'50.69323 49d34'17.60287
62935.00        70910.00 0.00

Please be careful of assuming a failure in the accuracy of PROJ.4
when it is really just the input it is given.

You might want to chat with Mike Adair over on the Mapbuilder
project who has also translated a number of projections into Javascript.
