filters. The prior language was a bit ambiguous, so we hope to make it
as explicit as possible.

Any "nil" items MUST NOT be included into the final set of filter elements.
We exclude all <code>OP_RETURN</code> outputs in order to allow filters to

We exclude all outputs taht start with <code>OP_RETURN</code> in order to allow
filters to easily be committed to in the future via a soft-fork. A likely area

<ref>https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki</rev>. By
excluding all <code>OP_RETURN</code> outputs we avoid a circular dependency
between the commitment, and the item being committed to.
