There's an article in the October Unix/World that explains the intent
of P1003 pretty clearly.  It's by the committee chair.  In refer format:

%A Jim Isaak
%T Standards for the Unix System
%J Unix/World
%I Tech Valley Publishing
%C Mountain View, CA
%V 3
%N 10
%P 34-38
%D October 1986

It mentions 1003.1, 1003.2, 1003.3, /usr/group committees, X/OPEN and SVID.

There are also articles on X3J11 and networking standards in the same issue.
