Well, I'd like that comment in summary.awk saying what the intended syntax 
actually is in the case of multiple headers (how the standards are to be 
matched to the headers).  But:

For stdio.h it's C90.

For unistd.h it's POSIX.1 (i.e. 1990 edition, in the list I gave of 
possible notation for standards).

For fcntl.h it's XOPEN || POSIX.1-2008.

So if comma-separated standards correspond to space-separated headers, 
it's as you say except for my proposed notation saying POSIX.1 for the 
1990 edition.
