>From sed(1) on Solaris:
     Two of the commands take a command-list, which is a list  of
     sed commands separated by NEWLINE characters, as follows:
          { command
          command
          }

     The { can be preceded with blank characters and can be  fol-
     lowed  with  white  space.   The commands can be preceded by
     white space.  The terminating } must be preceded by  a  NEW-
     LINE  character and can be preceded or followed by <blank>s.
     The braces may be preceded or  followed  by  <blank>s.   The
     command  may  be  preceeded by <blank>s, but may not be fol-
     lowed by <blank>s.

The AIX sed man page does not say the above but has the same
requirement.
