	In [[Header#Block_Headers]], it says txn_count is always zero.

			: IIRC, it's because the txn_count is the number of transactions ''actually'' being sent - which in the header request is zero because you're only getting the headers. --[[User:Luke-jr\|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr\|talk]]) 05:23, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

 Under version message there is the field version which has the type of int32_t. Shouldn't it be uint32_t? Same with the start_height.
