I'm curious.  Is this the only widely recognized shortcoming of POSIX?

I mean - either POSIX is riddled with numerous other mistakes - or  
this is the only issue remaining to address before POSIX is  
perfected :-)

I suspect it is not the latter case, which suggests that there is a  
list of other such instances where POSIX fails to implement long- 
standing international standards.
