Thank you for the report.

This was already fixed in the git source-code repository (after version 
4.4 was released), but the web site was not updated to reflect the 
latest changes.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/sed.git/commit/?id=755e9434

Since there are few more pending documentation changes,
I'll wait for them and then update the website.

I'll keep this bug report open until then.

regards,
 - assaf
