The most recently reviewed drafts of POSIX.2 and POSIX.2a, which cover the Shell & Utilities area, don't seem to mention any such things. I think that you can purchase these drafts, which are still in balloting last I heard, from the IEEE Standards Office in New Jersey. I miss the snitch reports on what is going on and would welcome any informative (as differentiated from speculative) commentary on the future plans for the Shell & Utilities effort (or other related TCOS efforts for that matter :-).
