This is the question I have, what are the stated boundaries of the

In respect of the first two questions: I am not aware of any such firm
statements having been made.
In respect of your third question: Contrary to the implicit expectation
that seems to be attached to this question, POSIX.1-2008 appears to have
very little to say about how any of the things systemd does are supposed
to work.
For example, one might expect that since the System Interfaces volume of
POSIX.1-2008 stipulates the existence of the syslog() library function,
it might say something about the nature of system logging. What it turns
out to say is:
"The syslog() function shall send a message to an implementation-defined
logging facility, which may log it in an implementation-defined system
log, write it to the system console, forward it to a list of users, or
forward it to the logging facility on another host over the network. The
logged message shall include a message header and a message body. The
message header contains at least a timestamp and a tag string."
(quoted from
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/syslog.html )
I believe the journal constitutes a compliant back-end to POSIX
syslog(), no doubt much to many people's disgust.
