We have tended to exclude commands that are not useful when called from application C programs and shell scripts; vi and sdb are good examples of these. The total list of commands considered was provided by the X/OPEN Group, which seemed like a reasonable starting point. The Working Group solicits your opinions on these groupings and on the specific commands selected for each.
