Does POSIX.1 require that a shell interface capability exist? I know that
POSIX.2 is still being worked, but is it possible that dot 1 does not
require dot 2, but rather simply allows that if a shell is available it
will be according to dot 2?

POSIX.1 does not require any shell interface capability to exist.  If one
is provided, it does not have to conform to POSIX.2 (unless, of course,
the system claims to conform to POSIX.2).
