Personally, I rather like having PWD be a special parameter. If you go
by the letter of that standard you quoted, PWD would not be set at all
when the shell first started up; it would only become set after a "cd".
That's surely bogus.
I'm all for following standards when the difference is meaningful in some
way, but this seems entirely gratuitous.
