It is true that the vendors might make it possible for users to obtain partially functional (non-standard) behavior if they do not invoke the conforming implementation, but that's just implementation garbage, not relevant to the discussion of standard conformance. By the way, POSIX.2's "c89" should have been called "cc"...
