What problems would an agency encounter if they requested ISO POSIX
in place of FIPS 151-1 POSIX. Are there alternative behaviours allowed
in ISO 9945 that would jeopardize maximum portable of applications following
ISO vs. FIPS guidelines?

Is FIPS 151-1 a proper subset of ISO 9945 or are there items in FIPS 151-1
that do not exist in the ISO version?
