Akio's task was to compare the two documents and find the things that have
been missed in the LSB. He did a great job on that.
There is another task to think about what commands it makes sense to include
based on what an install script might need, and what a program may call out to
using system() or popen().
The latter will likely filter the former.
Including vi in the spec, probably doesn't make sense, unless we decide that
an application may need the ability to bring up an editor of some kind for
some reason.
