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?
The only sense in which the procedures were dictated was that ISO 9000 says you must follow your own procedures, but these procedures you were following were made up by the contractor, not by ISO 9000.
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?
Exactly
