Final Accepted Text
Summary 0001332: WEXITED should not be limited to processes that have exited
Description The description of WEXITED on the waitid() page (and <sys/wait>) is:

    Wait for processes that have exited.

The use of "exited" here means that waitid() calls with WEXITED are
not required to return status information for processes that have
been terminated by a signal.
Desired Action At the specified location, and also at
page 409 line 13906 section <sys/wait.h>, change:

    Wait for processes that have exited.

to:

    Wait for processes that have terminated.

I agree that could be misconstrued, but so could the desired action. I'd prefer:
Wait for processes that have exited normally, called abort(), or have been terminated due to a signal.
