To some people, "Standard C" means C89.
 

That is not my case.
I was sincerely mistaken.

Everything after that is, like POSIX, just fluffy nonsense.
 

I don't think that POSIX is fluffy nonsense. I do know, however, that
POSIX is irrelevant for overwhelming majority of C programming that I
do at work.
Newer C standards are significantly more relevant, esp. language
features.
For library features, C Standard is relevant in a sense that if
particular standard function exists in the library that I use, then it
is very likely that it matches semantics of the standard.
