There is no affordable documentation, for a start. POSIX.5 itself is
rather expensive. There is no publicly accessible implementation. As
a result, hardly anybody knows how the interface "feels" in practice.
The rest of POSIX.5 has severe design deficiencies; I think it's
reasonable to assume that binding to the BSD sockets API is not much
better.
