POSIX is a start, but has been increasingly superseded by new
developments.  Posix is useful as a list of things that possibly
should be implemented, but may not be relevant as a guide to *how*
they should be implemented.

LSB isn't a standard.  "What does Ubuntu do?" isn't either, but it's
about as close as you get to one.  Gnu is "How *not* to do it" these
days.

Think big.   Do it right, document it, and let *Toybox* set the standard.
