It sounds like you are not familiar with ISO 9000 at all :-)

This standard is about following your internal rules, it is not
a set of rules itself, so if you have a rule which prohibits SED
scripts in your environment, this is a rule you have created
for yourself, and you cannot blame ISO 9000! One of the risks
in ISO 9000 environments is being stuck with silly rules. You
can get certification pretty much regardless of whether your
rules make sense, just as long as you can show you follow them
rigorously :-)

Ah! I worked in only one place, a defense contractor, where ISO 9000 was "followed", and the way management talked, their procedures were dictated by ISO 9000. So I gather my one experience gave me an inaccurate view of the subject?

So I assume it is possible for an ISO 9000 environment to allow for ad hoc sed scripts to fix trivial problems, and it would be the specific institution, and not ISO 9000, that is broken (IMHO) if anal rule prevented such utilitarian acts?
