Specially because almost, if not all (except posh of course), of the POSIX shell scripts interpreters we ship accept kill with the XSI extensions. Allowing SuSv3 + XSI would be too much IMHO, so restricting the XSI extensions to kill and trap would be great (more benefits: less bugs, and almost zero work to be done).
