Then you might want to contact austin-group-l@opengroup.org - that's the  
relevant mailing list for discussing this stuff. The Austin Group created  
both POSIX 2003 and TC1 for that. (And the Single Unix spec V3 aka #define  
_XOPEN_SOURCE 600 - it's all one text these days.)

Or you can use the "Send in a Defect Report" link on the online version at  
http://unix-systems.org/single_unix_specification/.

I think they're about to start work on TC2, so now would be the right  
moment to bring it up (and possibly the general "what does this mean for  
C++" question).

Subscription to that list is open to everyone, and every subscriber has  
access to all the drafts. See http://www.opengroup.org/austin/lists.html.
