    Problem Text
    The test assertions listed test an area of POSIX.2 which the POSIX.2
    interpretation committe has determined to be in error (see IEEE
    interpretations PASC 1003.2-92 #78, question #32).

    Historically, :rewind set the current line as described by :edit. The correct
    behaviour is described in POSIX.2b draft.11 section 5.10.7.5.26 page 157 line
    1398

    Our implementation conforms to the draft POSIX.2b standard which mandates
    this historical practice. Since this area of the specification is subject
    to change, we request a temporary interpretation allowing historical practice.

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    The test results show the test is PASSing but the submitter claims
    the IUT does not perform as the test expects. These two things are
    at odds with each other.

    In any event there is already a ruling, TSD4C.00004, regarding
    the issue being raised.
