OK thanks for the information.  The description of a "declaration utility"
certainly clears things up.

At the top of: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

I see this:

"The 2016 edition incorporates Technical Corrigendum 1 and Technical
Corrigendum 2 addressing problems discovered since the approval of the 2008
edition."

If that additional text in the bug was "approved" in 2011, why don't I see
it in the HTML?  Did I miss it, is the HTML out of date, or is the approved
text is not in
Technical Corrigendum 1 or 2?  (I don't know reallly know how POSIX works,
or what a Technical Corrigendum is ... )

thanks,
Andy
