We need help with "Commands included but not documentd" and "Interfaces included but not documented". See Chris Yeoh for coordination of commands and Kevin Caunt for coordination of interfaces.

Check SUSv2, 4.4BSD-lite, Xfree86, then GNU in that order
Document ommited standards, GNU addendums, and GNU differences in the LSB man page.

LSB v0.7 to be release on 3/22. We need to post to lsb-dicuss to review the v0.7 spec and lsbdev v0.7.
Stuart has excluded the unknown APIs from the spec.
