You can read the POSIX spec online at:
http://www.UNIX-systems.org/version3/online.html
Registration is required, the terms are here:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/terms.htm
Basically, some of the collating-element underbrush got cleaned out.
For example, in the old POSIX, [^[:alpha:]]+ was required to match
"aa" in a Danish locale, since "aa" is a collating element that is not
an alphabetic character. The new POSIX does not require this: it
gives implementations more freedom to "do the right thing" (and thus
it can make life harder on application writers :-).
