It is in the latest POSIX standard (2008) and appears to have been specified a long time before that (page says 'Issue 2' which means XPG Issue 2, dating from the 90s). Perhaps it assumes that 'type' will be an external program, but that's not compliant because it must be able to find shell aliases. I would consider this a serious bug in posh.
