Content
The doc section has no reference, as in a live web link, to any version of the POSIX specification. This is unlike other doc sections that implement various RFCs (which also get updated). The docs also link to specific references for the Unicode version supported, which has changed from version to version.

The OP quotes (without giving a link) from the 2008 version. POSIX and shlex are much older than that, implying that shlex might conform to an earlier version, just as other modules implement older RFCs that have been superceded.
