You'd have to ask the guys who write the specs but "od" is one
example of a basic tool that's been around for decades and
apparently isn't mandatory since it's annotated with "XSI" in the
spec -

I don't think so. The "XSI" tag in the spec
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/od.html.
only comprises the old invocation syntax
od [-bcdosx] [file] [[+]offset[.][b]][Option End]
One can use the modern syntax instead:
od [-v] [-A address_base] [-j skip] [-N count] [-t type_string]...
[file...]
which is not affected by the "XSI" tag. See also the sections labeled "RATIONALE" (<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/od.html#tag_20_88_18>)
and "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" (<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/od.html#tag_20_88_19>).
