Not all short options are portable, but all POSIX options are short.

I guess my point is that I don't really care what the standard says if it doesn't cover enough of what I'm doing, and in practice, I can't recall a single time where I had a script that was incompatible with where I ran it because of a long option where a short one would have been compatible.
