`POSIX' is not an acronym, despite the Open Group's efforts to retcon it.
It's historically been just a name.
In any event, the man page uses `POSIX' to refer to the standard and the
working group(s) and `posix mode' to refer to the shell mode (since you
enable it using `set -o posix'). If I'm not consistent about that after
this set of changes, let me know.
The texinfo manual should do the same thing, but it's not consistent,
and it uses @sc{posix} far more than it should (historical reasons in
play there). I think I'll go for internal consistency there; the places
where it doesn't use @sc{posix} now are mostly cut-and-paste jobs from
other documents.
