POSIX.1 Issue 8 Draft 2.1 says (ll. 111035-111036):
  Issue 8
    Austin Group Defect 1070 is applied, changing the APPLICATION USAGE
section.

I.e.: https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1070
Please grep down to "On Page: 3310 Line: 111099 Section: uniq" there.

Notably, this updates APPLICATION USAGE, which is non-normative, to align with
the actual hard description, to:
  The sort utility can be used to cause repeated lines to be adjacent in the
input file.

  If the collating sequence of the current locale does not have a total
ordering of all characters, the behavior of <tt>sort | uniq</tt> differs from
<tt>sort -u</tt>, as uniq treats lines as duplicates only if they are
identical, whereas <tt>sort -u</tt> treats lines as duplicates if they collate
equally.

The actual normative text is the same as it is in
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/uniq.html
In which /no mention/ is made of "collation" or "equivalence", and LC_COLLATE
is /not/ listed in the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES – lines are "compared", i.e.
strcmp().

This is the precise difference between sort -u and sort | uniq.
