 \introlist
 The usage of the \memo is by agreement between the sender and recipient of the
-\note. The \memo{} \SHOULD be encoded either as:
+\note. The \memo{} \SHOULD be encoded as one of:
 
 \begin{itemize}
   \item a UTF-8 human-readable string \cite{Unicode}, padded by appending zero bytes; or
-  \item an arbitrary sequence of $\MemoByteLength$ bytes starting with a byte value of $\hexint{F5}$
-        or greater, which is therefore not a valid UTF-8 string.
+  \item the byte $\hexint{F6}$ followed by $511$ $\hexint{00}$ bytes, indicating ``no memo''; or
+  \item any other sequence of $\MemoByteLength$ bytes starting with a byte value $\hexint{F5}$
+        or greater (which is therefore not a valid UTF-8 string), as specified in \cite{ZIP-302}.
 \end{itemize}
 
-In the former case, wallet software is expected to strip any trailing zero bytes
-and then display the resulting \mbox{UTF-8} string to the recipient user, where applicable.
-Incorrect UTF-8-encoded byte sequences \SHOULD be displayed as replacement characters
-(\ReplacementCharacter).
+When the first byte value is less than $\hexint{F5}$, wallet software is expected to strip any
+trailing zero bytes and then display the resulting \mbox{UTF-8} string to the recipient user,
+where applicable. Incorrect UTF-8-encoded byte sequences \SHOULD be displayed as replacement
+characters (\ReplacementCharacter).
 
-In the latter case, the contents of the \memo{} \SHOULDNOT be displayed. A start byte
-of $\hexint{F5}$ is reserved for use by automated software by private agreement.
-A start byte of $\hexint{F6}$ followed by $511$ $\hexint{00}$ bytes means ``no memo''.
-A start byte of $\hexint{F6}$ followed by anything else, or a start byte of $\hexint{F7}$
-or greater, are reserved for use in future \Zcash protocol extensions.
+In other cases, the contents of the \memo{} \SHOULDNOT be displayed unless otherwise specified
+by \cite{ZIP-302}.
