I searched the 6th Edition and the word P-o-s-t-u-r-e doesn't exist. More or less I was looking for Hip Motion, Knee Bend and Weight Shift. While viewing the Address Posture of Pro's, I kind-of abstracted the one below. In contrast to the Posture named "Fred", the Pro's look a little forward leaning.
I typically tend toward "Fred". Which do you prefer?
These five professionals provide a new composite. I've been wondering how posture is related (if) to a golfers overall method of increasing clubhead speed and/or power. Balance? Or could posture be related to their Start-up Take-away?
How Many On-Plane Right Forearms Do you See?
How Many Golf Clubs are on an Elbow Plane At Address?

Mr. Kelley seemed to have a bit of a different view of the Elbow Plane in the earlier editions. I think it's in the 3rd that he says the Elbow Plane has an advantage because the club is moving at 90 degrees to the axis of rotation.
Some of this waist bend stuff has to do with the shot at hand. Also, not sure that it's good to have the image of the spine as a "rod" stick straight . . .. cuz it ain't. However I think there is an advantage to considering an axis of rotation that the spine, hips, knees and shoulder comply with. For the head to stay steady the hips and spine have to do some bending and unbending.
Also . . . from an optics stand point . . . chin down . . . not up.

OK look at these very very good golfers in their address postures..........which one has to move their HEAD the most to get their right forearm and clubshaft on the same plane? This is a Zone 1 problem.

OK . . . I'm not sure that I'm ready to say that the head has to move to get the right forearm on plane here . . . could be . . . but do you think moving from Fix to Standard Address requires the head to Bob? I may be wrong about this but I'd be willing to bet a handful of Mike O's toenails that these cats get the Right Forearm On-Plane.

I'm clueless.
