Section 8.1 says: 

   The following ni URI is generated from the text "Hello World!" (12
   characters without the quotes), using the sha-256 algorithm shown
   with and without an authority field:

   ni:///sha-256;f4OxZX_x_FO5LcGBSKHWXfwtSx-j1ncoSt3SABJtkGk

   ni://example.com/sha-256;f4OxZX_x_FO5LcGBSKHWXfwtSx-j1ncoSt3SABJtkGk

It should say:

   The following ni URI is generated from the text "Hello World!" (12
   characters without the quotes), using the sha-256 algorithm shown
   with and without an authority field:

   ni://example.com/sha-256;f4OxZX_x_FO5LcGBSKHWXfwtSx-j1ncoSt3SABJtkGk

   ni:///sha-256;f4OxZX_x_FO5LcGBSKHWXfwtSx-j1ncoSt3SABJtkGk

Notes:

Make example consistent with the "with and without" language.

--VERIFIER NOTES--
This has been marked as held for document update per author input: co-authors […] concluded that indeed it would be more clear if the order of the examples was changed as suggested by the report.
