   When describing the witness field, reword “witness data” to “witness field” as “witness data” refers also to the marker and flag fields.

   The confusion

   https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki#transaction-size-calculations

   Base transaction size is the size of the transaction serialised with the witness data stripped.

   Here, “witness data” refers to having the marker, flag and witness fields stripped.

   https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki#transaction-id

   The witness is a serialization of all witness data of the transaction.

   However, here “witness data” refers to just the witness field.

2. bip-141: `witness` field wording improvement

   When describing the `witness` field, reword "witness data" to "witness
   field" as "witness data" refers also to the `marker` and `flag` fields.
