[issue1306] sed(1) adds trailing newline

[Alex Hornung (via DragonFly issue tracker)]

Alex Hornung <ahornung at gmail.com> added the comment:

Standard[1] dictates: "Whenever the pattern space is written to standard 
output or a named file, sed shall immediately follow it with a <newline>."

In my personal opinion, though, I'd prefer to see a gnu-compatible sed, even 
if that means breaking standards compliance.

So what is the decision on this? Stick to the standard or stick to gnu?
