Storage Proof Explanation is wrong/misleading

https://sky-guide.hns.siasky.net/hosting/index.html#storage-proofs

"At the end of a contract, the host has the option to submit a storage proof... [etc]"

I would reword it to say:
"At the end of a contract, the host will generally submit a storage proof automatically except in certain rare situations. A storage proof is a random section of the contract data which is provided to the renter to confirm its validity, and "proves" to the host that the data was available according to the contract.
The host has 144 blocks, or approximately 24 hours, after the contract ends to submit a storage proof. This is called the "proof window" and if the host does not submit a storage proof during the proof window then risked collateral offered by the host, and the renter's payment for the storage, is burned."

This leads to less confusion for the people running hosts thinking they will need to do this manually and offers clarity on a few terms.
