Eric,
Thanks for catching that. I'm moving the discussion to address@hidden .

David,
Thanks for the report.
The first issue you've listed was fixed just few days ago:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/sed.git/commit/?id=755e9434c047863b702b
But this was after the most recent release of sed-4.4, so it
is not yet visible on sed's website.
You've listed some other issues, and added:

This is good feedback, and we welcome patches and improvements.
The best way to send such suggestions is to follow the instructions here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/sed.git/tree/README-hacking
This will enable us to quickly update the manual.
Alternatively,
The source code for sed's PDF/HTML manual is this file:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/sed.git/tree/doc/sed.texi
If you could point us to specific line numbers you think
are incorrect or could be improved, this will also help
us fix them.
regards,
