Should "df --portability" allow thousands separators?

[Peter D.]

Hi,  

I apologize if this is a silly question...  

The man pages for df state that "-P" or "--portability" should, "use the 
POSIX output format".  I admit that I am ignorant and do not know whether 
or not POSIX allows for thousands separators - but I suspect that they are 
a recent innovation that post dates POSIX.  

I have an environment variable set that triggers thousands separators.  It 
can be overridden with an extra command line option, but I suspect that 
a "-P" should be sufficient. 

If this isn't really a bug, sorry.
