 Hi,
 
 "stdout" is something that depends on an understanding of how stdio.h
 works in ANSI C.  Since the executable of sed is pretty much
 language-agnostic and we can't expect all the users of FreeBSD to be C
 programmers, I'd probably write this as:
 
 	.It Fl l
 	Make output line buffered.
 
 Other than this minor detail, the manpage diff looks fine (as long as we
 don't forget to bump the date too when it is committed).
