I think that it would be very wise to indicate how developers can find POSIX standards documentation. I am not sure how closely the UNIX98 standards match POSIX, but it is possibly a better start than nothing. I would suggest adding a footnote to section 4.4 of the Policy doc (although not part of policy itself) directing developers to look at http://www.db.opengroup.org/sud/, to register and then they can use the information found there to help make their scripts POSIX (or at least UNIX98) compliant.
