It strikes me that a developer working on the server side doesn't have at least an idea of what POSIX is.

You misread what he wrote. He knows what POSIX is in absolute, the question was what "POSIX" is as a locale. It's in the previous sentence:

> I had the situation that when I logged into my remote server the locale was set to the string “POSIX”.

Ugh. That's what I get for skimming. Sorry.

I work both sides, and I don't know what constitutes a POSIX encoding too.
