Zyxel or D-Link SFP module in HP Procurve Switch

Does anybody knows if an Zyxel's or D-Link's SFP module should work if mounted in a HP Procurve Switch ?

The HP documentation says that we must only use HP modules. Is it really true or is it a recommandation ?

Thank's

It is even worse:
Version A, J4858A or J4859A, of our GBIC's (sold by HP) wil not work in a new procurve switch, only in old switches.
A new switch would need a ..58B ..58C ..59B or ..59C to function.
So if you are not using an old switch with old firmware, I would think you are out of luck with altenatives.
Personaly I have only tryed HP in HP with mixed results, as mentioned.

And if I use a new switch with a recent firmware, will it work with Zyxel or D-Link SFP modules ?

There is no certainty that SFP modules from other brand than HP will or will not work in HP Procurve switch.
