Actually, in a lot of cases, the part of POSIX we don't support is the X/Open System Interfaces (aka Single Unix Spec) option. I am of the belief that it's probably a bad idea to ever claim support for this option, although we may implement many of the interfaces it includes, because so much of it is basically ``standardized SVR4'' and we don't want to be that.
