I have not been able to determine the impact of this change on GNU
findutils, as I'm away and don't have easy access to my development
system. I should be able to look at this next week, but if anyone
else wants to have a think about what we shoudl do about this in the
meantime, please feel free!

XCU ERN 68 xargs Accept as marked below
(Note: "{XSI}" in the following means start XSI shading; "{/XSI}"
means stop XSI shading.)
Change the SYNOPSIS on P1058, L40762-40763 from:
xargs [-t] [-p]] [-E eofstr] {XSI}[-I replstr] [-L number]{/XSI}
[-n number [-x]] [-s size] [utility [argument...]]
to:
xargs [-ptx] [-E eofstr] [-s size] [{XSI}-I replstr |
-L number | {/XSI}-n number] [utility [argument...]]
Delete the last sentence in the description of the -L option on
P1059, L40809-40810:
The -L and -n options are mutually-exclusive; the last one
specified shall take effect.
Change the description of the -x option on P1059, L40834-40836 from:
Terminate if a command line containing number arguments (see the
-n option above) {XSI}or number lines (see the -L option above) {/XSI}
will not fit in the implied or specified size (see the -s option
above).
to:
Terminate if a constructed command line will not fit in the
implied or specified size (see the -s option above).
Add to rationale.
The -I, -L, and -n options are mutually-exclusive.
Some implementations use the last one specified if more than
one is given on a command line , other implementations treat combinations
of the options in different ways.
