I don't think that is necessary.

The magic is still necessary for the binary format in order to prevent
normal transaction deserializers from accidentally deserializing a psbt.

While that would be ideal, I think it is better to use an encoding that
most wallets already support. Most wallets already have Base64 decoding
available so that they can decode signed messages which also use Base64
encoding. I think it is unnecessary to introduce another encoding.

I think what will end up happening though is that, at least in the
beginning, PSBTs will primarily be strings that people end up copy and
pasting. Since a PSBT can get pretty large, the strings are rather
cumbersome to move around, especially as hex. At least with Base64 the
strings will be smaller.

Agreed. I will include those in the BIP.

Okay.

I will try my best to fix that. Mediawiki sucks...
