POSIX sh is immensely complicated, is not specified to anywhere near the precision needed by web standards, and is not implemented precisely to the standards that do exist. (E.g., bash is deliberately not POSIX-compliant by default.) Suggesting it as a solution for anything on the web is, well, hard for me to understand. And it's not going to happen.
