Its actually a crude attempt to avoid using a pair of precision ratio
tracking resistors.
This works best when the external reference voltage is close to that of
the AD587 internal zener voltage.
With an LTZ1000 the degradation of the the LTZ1000 performance is
significant.
You still need 3 precision resistors to set the LTZ1000 zener current
and chip temperature.
