A while back we got permission from the IEEE and The Open Group to use
the POSIX.1-2013 pages (==POSIX.1-2008 + Technical Corrigendum 1,
published 2013).

However, the source text that has been provided to us needs massaging
in a number of ways before it can be published as a set of standalone
pages. Felix Janda kindly offered to take on that task, and has been
making very good progress. I expect that in a week or two, we'll have
a set of pages for public review (to see if there are any remaining
bugs in the "massaging process" that Felix or I did not spot).

Cheers,

Michael
