Not really wanting to get into this debate, but having had my tutorial linked here and associated with an opinion, I must clarify that my ideal for UNIX and Linux systems is that /bin/sh be in some way consistent, and provide all Bourne functionality. That is, my personal view is that stating "#!/bin/sh" says that SVR4 sh is expected; scripts that assume bash should state "#!/bin/bash" (or possibly "#!/usr/bin/bash", which is a different issue).

That is academic; the point of this post is to refute the statement that "http://steve-parker.org/sh/sh.shtml ... mostly cover[s] outdated incompatabilites between other shells."
