    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 #51).

    The correct behaviour of the beautify edit option is described in POSIX.2b
    draft.11 section E.5.10.7.5 page 309 lines 1776-1789 and is no longer
    required, because of internationalisation concerns.

    Our implementation conforms to the draft POSIX.2b standard, which
    regularizes the behaviour of Ex/Vi in this area. Since this area of
    POSIX.2 is subject to change, we request a temporary interpretation
    allowing the behaviour described by POSIX.2b.
