Svid a standard?

The only thing that makes the SVID a standard is the unmitigated gall
of AT&T in calling it such.  A series of books written by a single vendor
does not a standard make.

Were honesty more valued in the marketplace, vendors would be saying
	we conform to the SVID guidelines
and those that have signed a Release 3 license would be saying
	we conform to the SVID requirements
