 The style of communication is taken directly from PGP/GPG, which uses blocks of ASCII like this to communicate encrypted messages and signatures.  This serialization is compact, and will be interpreted the same in all character encodings.  It can be copied inline into an email, or saved in a text file.  The advantage over the analogous PGP encoding is that there are some human readable elements to it, for users that wish to examine the TxDP packet manually, instead of requiring a program to parse the core elements of the TxDP.
 
-A party receiving this TxDP can simply add their signature to the appropriate _TXINPUT_ line.  If that is the last signature required, they can broadcast it themselves.  Any software that implements this standard should be able to combine multiple TxDPs into a single TxDP.  However, even without the programmatic support, a user could manually combine them by copying the appropriate _TXSIGS_ lines between serializations, though it is not the recommended method for combining TxDPs.

 There is a 1-confirmation attack on old implementations, but it is expensive and difficult in practice. The attack is:
 
 # Attacker creates a pay-to-script-hash transaction that is valid as seen by old software, but invalid for new implementation, and sends themselves some coins using it.
-# Attacker also creates a standard transaction that spends the pay-to-script transaction, and pays the victim who is running old software.
+# Attacker also creates a standard transaction that spends the pay-to-script-hash transaction, and pays the victim who is running old software.
 # Attacker mines a block that contains both transactions.
 
 If the victim accepts the 1-confirmation payment, then the attacker wins because both transactions will be invalidated when the rest of the network overwrites the attacker's invalid block.
