I can ditch the ?'s; no guarantees of the portability of the attached
patch.  FWIW, I didn't go this route initially because I preferred
keeping the regexps the same.

I'm not aware of any way to switch to || echo 0.  If sed exited w/ a
non-zero value if the pattern didn't match (or if there was some way to
force sed to do that), it would be a possibility.
