Small suggestion but otherwise LGTM

| Messages can be annotated with trusted metadata copied from the client's authentication token by Ably servers. Clients are unable to directly publish messages with user claim metadata, and claims contained within the authentication token are signed to prevent tampering. Claims can be scoped to individual channels or to namespaces of [channels](/docs/channels). The most specific user claim will be added to the message as part of the `extras` object. Note that this does not apply to presence or metadata messages. | ||

| Custom restrictions also apply to presence messages and individual annotations. In both cases, the user claim is included in `extras.userClaim`. |
