It might be a bit tedious, but just adding -2008 looks good to me
like the following:
|.St -p1003.1-2001
|and
|.St -p1003.1-2008 .
p1003.1-2004 is a subset of SUSv3 (and -2008 is one of SUSv4), so
using p1003.1-YYYY consistently sounds less confusing when describing
the conformance within the subsets.
Regarding the non-standard extensions, I am not sure what
"compatible" means. Some of them are extensions commonly seen on
other BSD-derived OSes, some are available only on FreeBSD, and some
have the same names with GNU's counterpart but different meanings.
Is just mentioning "...are non-standard extensions" with no
specification name sufficient and easier? I have no strong opinion
on that part, but this is just my two cents.
