On the other hand, the next version of POSIX has this explicit wording,
shaded CX meaning that it is a C extension:

CX For a stream open for reading, if the file is not already at EOF, and the
file is one capable of
seeking, the file offset of the underlying open file description shall be
adjusted so that the next
operation on the open file description deals with the byte after the last
one read from or written
to the stream being flushed.
