 Problem:

 Defect code :  1. Error

 The word "optional" should not be present in the following text:

     "The r and w command verbs, and the w flag to the s command, take
     an optional rfile (or wfile) parameter"

 In the detailed descriptions of the r, w and s commands (lines 32471,
 32504 and 32512), the rfile and wfile parameters are not in square
 brackets, and no mention is made of them being optional, nor any
 indication given of how sed should behave if they are omitted.
 The rfile and wfile parameters clearly are not optional (whereas
 for ed they are - as can be seen by comparing the corresponding
 parts of the sed and ed descriptions).

 Action:

 Delete the word "optional".
