My understanding is that the Open Group / SUS standards are supposed

Speculating...
 
A strict subset might be palatable.  A superset (strict or not)
probably would not, since that would entail requirements beyond
those in the intended specification. 

IMO an author should reference what (s)he's actually read, 
guessing what an "official" (but commercial) document says
is risky.
