    Note that the Input Finalizer retains PSBT_IN_PROPRIETARY fields it does not understand, treating them like unknown fields so it does not clear proprietary data it cannot interpret.

    This version has proprietary fields mentioned as a separate category than unknown fields.

    The other option is:

    All other data except the UTXO and unknown fields (including <tt>PSBT_IN_PROPRIETARY</tt> fields the Input Finalizer does not understand) in the input key-value map should be cleared from the PSBT. The UTXO should be kept to allow Transaction Extractors to verify the final network serialized transaction.
