Bug 0000529: fildes unspecified on close()'s [EINTR]  Re-OPENED
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=529

Based on feedback via the mailing list and from Larry Dwyer in person,
Eric Blake has taken an action item to revise the proposed solution
per the following guidelines:
   + close() will treat as "unspecified" which of the two behaviors
     currently at issue are supported in an implementation.
   + posix_close() will be created and support behaviors based on
     a flag.
We will take this up at the next meeting.


*New business

Bug 0000545: Escape Filenames as per Uniform Resource Identifier Encoding
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=545
It was agreed to close this as a duplicate of Bug 0000251 since it
was felt that (1) escaping is a poor solution and (2) we could deal
with this as part of reesolving 251.

Bug 0000537: for set -e, compound commands and functions case should be 
clarified  Reject
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=537

This item was reopened by the originator. It was agreed to reject
this item again.  Without existing implementation practice, this
group is unwilling to invent a new requirement.

0000530: Support in-place editing in sed (-iEXTENSION) 
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=530

The committee agreed to reject this Bug. The idea has merit for the
next version of POSIX, but the proposal needs to be enhanced before
it can be acceptable. For ease of tracking, we are marking this bug
closed; but we would be happy to consider a fully fleshed out
proposal that meets the needs spelled out in Note 0001170.
