No actual POSIXish implementation ever made it a

lest some conscientious programmer worry about a nonexistent

We opted to drop the patch, but in case someone else points out

The contents of each type are a logical block that is indented as
a block. They are not separate paragraphs that happen to be
indented separately, but a set of continuous paragraphs, all at
the same level, indented as a block from the list entry--the name
of the type--. Therefore, it makes more sense to use block
indentation, represented by .RS/.RE, rather than indenting each
paragraph separately. That way it's also easier to further indent
a separate paragraph inside a block, which happens for example in
the case of float_t & double_t. It's simply much easier now to
use .IP specifically in those cases where you want to indent just
a single paragraph.
Also added an ending separator comment line just after the last
type.

We intend to add support for new fanotify_init(2) flags for which
the group identifies filesystem objects by file handles and add
more event info record types.
To that end, start by changing the language of the man page to
refer to a "group that identifies filesystem objects by file
handles" instead of referring to the FAN_REPORT_FID flag and
document the extended event format structure in a more generic
manner that allows more than a single event info record and not
only a record of type FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_FID.

Subject: standards(7) (was: man-pages-5.07 released)
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2020 10:53:14 +0100
From: Geoff Clare <gwc@opengroup.org>
...
The first isn't really a problem, just an oddity. You list
POSIX.1b as "formerly known as POSIX.4", but you don't do the
equivalent for POSIX.1c ("formerly known as POSIX.4a").
There are several problems with the XPG3 entry:
"first significant release" - although I suppose XPG3 could
be considered more significant than XPG2 because it was the
first one to incorporate POSIX.1, I don't think it's fair to
imply that XPG2 was not significant. (E.g. XPG2 was
significant in that it was the first release to include
I18N, and the first that had a conformance test suite.)
"produced by the X/Open Company, a multivendor consortium" -
this conflates two different things called X/Open. X/Open
Company Limited is the UK company that did the editing work,
organised meetings, etc. X/Open Group is the consortium
whose members developed the technical content.
"This multivolume guide was based on the POSIX standards" -
at the time there was only one POSIX standard, namely
POSIX.1-1988. The first release to incorporate POSIX.2 was
XPG4 (which you may consider worth noting in the XPG4
entry).
To fix these problems I would suggest changing the entry to:
XPG3 Released in 1989, this was the first release of the X/Open
Portability Guide to be based on a POSIX standard
(POSIX.1-1988). This multivolume guide was developed by the
X/Open Group, a multivendor consortium.
Under SUSv2 I would suggest changing:
Sometimes also referred to as XPG5.
to:
Sometimes also referred to (incorrectly) as XPG5.
Under POSIX.1-2001, SUSv3: "XSI conformance constitutes the Single
UNIX Specification version 3 (SUSv3)" is problematic. I think I
touched on this in the previous discussion. I would suggest
deleting that sentence and instead inserting, before "Two
Technical Corrigenda ...", the following:
The Single UNIX Specification version 3 (SUSv3) comprises the
Base Specifications containing XBD, XSH, XCU and XRAT as
above, plus X/Open Curses Issue 4 version 2 as an extra volume
that is not in POSIX.1-2001.
Something similar is needed in the POSIX.1-2008, SUSv4 entry where
it talks about "the same four parts". The extra volume this time
is X/Open Curses Issue 7.

In fact, strictly peaking the text still is correct, even after
the arrival of time namespaces.
Time namespaces virtualize only the boot-time and monotonic
clocks, not the "real time" (i.e., calendar time), which is the
time referred in the passage you quote.
That said, the text is perhaps now a little misleading, and
a little clarification would help. I changed the text to:
