Yes.

1003.6 is security, which has been renumbered to 1003.1e (and, I believe,
1003.2c).

Which brings up a question for the linux-privs list: why are you still
calling it POSIX.6? IMHO it would be better to call it POSIX.1e or 1003.1e
or something, and it would be better to change the name _before_ releasing
a patch to the public.
