My opinion is that we shouldn't remove the traditional BSD options where
they conflict with the XSI extensions. POSIX.2 UPE conformance would be
a good thing, though.

Here is the synopsis from P1003.2a:

 5.23.1  Synopsis

 ps  [-aA] [-G grouplist] [-o format] ...  [-p proclist] [-t termlist]
     [-U userlist]

We are missing -A and -G, and the -p and -o options may have other problems.
