So /usr/bin/sed isn't owned by anything here, either.  You are likely 
correct about the /usr/bin/sed location being standard, however.  

As for /usr/X11R6, as you can see, newer xorgs have it to /usr, so 
anything that puts anything there puts it directly in /usr instead.  
However, the lack of anything else owning it as a dir indicates I don't 
have anything doing that here.  (The Gentoo xorg modules have been 
updated to put their files directly in /usr.)
