POSIX doesn't have anything to say about distributed file systems.
AFS is already so far from POSIX file system semantics that it won't
make a difference.  (And "multiple independent instantiations" is
exactly how it works over NFS as well; NFS never provided remote
socket, fifo, or device access.)
