At least netbsd's daemon seems to call it before even closing the old tty:
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/xdm/daemon.c
The opengroup page for setsid() isn't very explicit. This one isn't much
more either though, it seems most relevant things are "implementation
specific" (why write specifications then...):
