The coreutils changelog entry suggests the answer isn't that easy:
coreutils (5.96-3) unstable; urgency=low
* The POSIX compatability level is now set to POSIX 1003.1-2001,
which affects the syntax for several commands. For transition
purposes, "sort +number" and "tail +number" will be supported
for the etch release. Note that these usages are deprecated, and
will be removed in etch+1; the recommended usage is "sort -k number"
and "tail -n +number". Also, "uniq +number" should be replaced with
"uniq -s number" and "touch number filename" should be replaced with
"touch -t number filename". To revert to the older syntax, set the
environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION to "199209".
