Nice post overall, I don't really mean to nitpick here, but some of this info seems like it would be irrelevant to (what I assume to be) the target audience of the post.
eg, creating a transaction that is larger than the blocksize limit would require a massive number of inputs (or and even more massive number of outputs), I would reasonably only expect certain bitcoin businesses to find themselves in such situations.
I'm also curious about the 'old protocol' section - are there any examples of when this may occur? Maybe with reeeally old software that is trying to P2IP or something like that? I would assume that any users creating such transactions (eg other non-standard transactions) are power users, and know what they're getting into, anyways.
Yes, you're right, that some of the "reasons" are not applicable, and would be something most people wouldn't need to look into, I just thought it would be good to mention it. Hence the headings, so people can just skim through, which from the data shows most poeple do lol
I don't know who is going to read the content we put out, or what year they'll read it in, or their understanding or implementation of bitcoin. Might be helpful might not be
