The signature is listed as

web3.eth.sign(address, dataToSign [, callback])

But the example is

var result = web3.eth.sign(
    "0x9dd2c369a187b4e6b9c402f030e50743e619301ea62aa4c0737d4ef7e10a3d49", // first argument is web3.sha3("xyz")
    "0x135a7de83802408321b74c322f8558db1679ac20");

Which parameter is actually first -- address or dataToSign?
