I was in no shape at the time of the initial posting anyway.

I have the same analysis. Of course, unmatching lines don't go through that 
pipeline.

To tell you the truth, it didn't miraculously end up my brain, but through 
repetitive head-banging against the well-known and nice sed FAQ:
http://www.dbnet.ece.ntua.gr/~george/sed/OLD/sedfaq.html

I hardly ever use labels, and I guess next time it will be of use, I'll 
probably have forgotten about them. There are so many ways to performs tasks 
using sed.
