- it seems our notes that posix require rm to behave like rmdir for directories
is plain wrong: remove it. the note in posix spec is misleading, to be fair
- most of the rest of notes in STANDARDS are really historical notes (admittedly
caused by the standards i guess) so move them into HISTORY. debatable, yes, but leaves
STANDARDS consistent. HISTORY is a hodge podge anyway, by neccesity.
- while there, fix a sentence splice in BUGS
sobrado agrees with the removal of the rmdir note; millert oks the diff
