-Wallets SHOULD parse recipient information in the form `user`@`domain` or ₿`user`@`domain` and resolve such entry into recipient information using the above record. Similarly, wallets accepting payment information from external devices (e.g. hardware wallets) SHOULD accept RFC 9102-formatted proofs (as a series of unsorted `AuthenticationChain` records) and, if they verify, SHOULD display the recipient in the form ₿`user`@`domain`. For the avoidance of doubt, the ₿ is *not* included in the DNS label which is resolved.
+When displaying a verified human-readable address, wallets SHOULD prefix it with ₿, i.e. ₿`user`@`domain`. They SHOULD parse recipient information in both `user`@`domain` and ₿`user`@`domain` forms and resolve such entry into recipient information using the above record. For the avoidance of doubt, the ₿ is *not* included in the DNS label which is resolved.
 
-Wallets providing users the ability to "copy" their address information generally SHOULD copy the underlying URI directly in order to avoid the DNS indirection. However, wallets providing users the ability to copy their human-readable address information MUST include the ₿ prefix (i.e. copy it in the form ₿`user`@`domain`).
+Wallets providing the ability for users to "copy" their address information SHOULD copy the underlying URI directly, rather than the human-readable address. This avoids an additional DNS lookup by the application in which it is pasted. Wallets that nevertheless provide users the ability to copy their human-readable address, MUST include the ₿ prefix (i.e. copy it in the form ₿`user`@`domain`).
