 You're reading the wrong standard. The home page for POSIX 2008 is:

 http://www.unix.org/2008edition/

 In this link, XSI is properly described as an option:

 http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/help/codes.html#XSI

 All the option groups are described in the unistd.h page:

 http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/unistd.h.html

 Also, there's a chapter that deals with conformance in general:

 Yes, the sequence is to avoid overlap. It doesn't really matter which
function you choose, but duplicating work is really really bad. So it's
better to describe the functions in order. The full function list is in the
following link:

 No problem.
