It seems like the Open Group is trying to copy Microsoft in its
versioning scheme with its UNIX(R) 95 and UNIX(R) 98 specs.
  http://www.unix-systems.org/what_is_unix.html

The Single UNIX(R) Specification, ver. 2 (for UNIX(R) 98), is
submitformware, meaning all they require is your email address:
  http://www.opengroup.org/online-pubs?DOC=007908799


UNIX is a registered trademark of The Open Group.
