For scripting it looks like one needs to use B or e command before
doing oed. It's obvious when doing it manually, but it wasn't so
obvious when I used the null graphics interface.
I've made an attempt at tweaking the oed article and man page xml
sources to reflect that and have attached the diff.
Best,
