There are compilers that don't support C11. Knowing that downgrading to C99 is a simple procedure is worthwhile.

Sure, but that wasn't my point. almost C99 is unclear, unless you already know the intent. It's telling me which language the framework isn't written in.
90% C99, 10% C11 would be fine.
I think it would be better to describe it as a C11 library. I didn't know what to make of 'almost C99', which might refer to limited use of compiler-specific features, for instance.
