Looking again, I still don't see anything as clear-cut as "POSIX says that sh treats ~/foo like $HOME/foo even when HOME is not absolute". There are no matches for "relative" on that page. There are three for "absolute". One is for ENV, and says that the results are unspecified if it is not absolute. The other two are for PWD, and say that it must be absolute. What am I missing? Just that the section on ~ expansion says nothing one way or the other? I was really looking for a reference about HOME.
