Corrected the two occurances of "user-agent specific" as an adjective 
phrase, which should have been "user-agent-specific".

the document.

What's wrong with either neither?

Incidentally, the convention for substitution markers is usually:

   s/old/new/

...as in:

   s/teh/the/

(From the sed or perl convention.)
