Okay, thanks for the explanation.
I (re)copied the fdl verbatim from https://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.texi
which effectively makes the change you were proposing.

I agree that changing a license text is a delicate thing.
But there are 2 different texts of the FDL out there, and that link is the
only difference between them, so I guess this is just an old bug.
So the question is:
which of the 2 texts of the FDL license is the correct one?
The one from 'licenses' or the one from 'standards'?
Who can clarify?
Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
