This Annex contains modifications and comments relating to the use of the _T_C_O_S-_S_S_C _P_O_S_I_X _S_t_a_n_d_a_r_d_s _S_t_y_l_e _G_u_i_d_e {B6} in POSIX SPs. A.2 Scope While Section 6 addressed profiles generally, this Annex addresses considerations for developers of formal POSIX Standardized Profiles. It builds directly upon the concepts, principles, and guidance of Section 6. _N_o_t_e _t_o _r_e_v_i_e_w_e_r_s: _T_h_i_s _A_n_n_e_x _i_s _n_o_t _c_o_m_p_l_e_t_e, _i_n _t_h_a_t _m_o_r_e _w_o_r_k _i_s _r_e_q_u_i_r_e_d _i_n _t_h_e _d_o_m_a_i_n _o_f _P_O_S_I_X _p_r_o_f_i_l_e_s. _F_u_t_u_r_e _w_o_r_k _i_n _t_h_e _a_r_e_a _o_f _p_r_o_f_i_l_i_n_g _w_i_l_l _b_e _d_o_n_e _b_y _I_E_E_E _a_n_d _t_h_e _s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d_s _c_o_m_m_u_n_i_t_y. _T_h_i_s _d_o_c_u_m_e_n_t, _a_n_d _t_h_e _g_u_i_d_a_n_c_e _i_t _p_r_o_v_i_d_e_s, _w_i_l_l _b_e _u_p_d_a_t_e_d _a_s _a_p_p_r_o_p_r_i_a_t_e. _T_h_e _m_a_j_o_r _a_r_e_a_s _e_x_p_e_c_t_e_d _t_o _b_e _a_d_d_r_e_s_s_e_d _a_r_e: - _I_n_t_e_r_n_a_t_i_o_n_a_l _s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d_i_z_a_t_i_o_n _c_o_n_s_i_d_e_r_a_t_i_o_n_s - _C_o_n_f_o_r_m_a_n_c_e _i_s_s_u_e_s - _T_a_x_o_n_o_m_y _o_f _P_O_S_I_X _S_P_s - _R_e_g_i_s_t_r_a_t_i_o_n _o_f _P_O_S_I_X _S_P_s - _D_e_l_e_g_a_t_i_o_n _o_f _a_u_t_h_o_r_i_t_y _t_o _c_a_l_l _s_o_m_e_t_h_i_n_g _a _P_O_S_I_X _S_P (_N_o_t_e: _C_u_r_r_e_n_t_l_y, _t_h_i_s _d_o_c_u_m_e_n_t _d_o_e_s _n_o_t _p_r_o_h_i_b_i_t _a_n_o_t_h_e_r _g_r_o_u_p _b_e_s_i_d_e _I_E_E_E _f_r_o_m _c_a_l_l_i_n_g _t_h_e_i_r _d_o_c_u_m_e_n_t _a _P_O_S_I_X _S_P.)
