People who have read both documents have told me that the POSIX.5 standard
is substantially more readable/usable than the POSIX.1 standard.  
(-I- certainly think so, but my opinion is biased in this area.)  

Before anyone asserts "standards are unreadable", I suggest that they look
at something more than the current batch of C standards, which set a 
mediocre example, IMHO.
