The key requirement to consider for in POSIX compatible mode is, well, POSIX compatibility, which is defined in http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_03 Now, POSIX declares that what <blank> is depends on LC_CTYPE (character class blank).
