Well not exactly.  It tells us a lot about it, but there are "enhancements",
such as virtual terminals, a windowing shell, extra graphics libraries, TOS
emulation under Unix, DOS emulation under Unix, etc. etc.

These things are not "official" standard SVR3 but they can be added on top
of it without breaking SVID.   I'm sure a lot of people would also like
to know if any "vendor supplied enhancements" are planned.  Vanilla SVR3
is nice for the basics, but it doesn't have any of the "bells and whistles"
that are getting more and more common with modern vendor supplied Unixes.
