In addition to tags for ksh, ksh93, and so on, I wish there was a POSIX tag,
to make it easy to see which of the recommended features and usages were
within the limits of the POSIX standard for the shell (which ksh93 or
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh are probably supersets of).

If there is a standard, even if it's a bit lame, if there's any chance of a 
script
being used other than just on [Open]Solaris, IMO one ought to at least consider
limiting oneself to the standard, give or take #!, which avoids the need for a
wrapper or installer, but is not part of the standard.  Along those lines, the
disclaimer is needed that /bin/sh isn't necessarily the POSIX compliant shell, 
but rather
the sh found on PATH obtained from getconf.
