dir-spec.txt and directory-signature entries

The final entries in a consensus document are a number of directory-
signature entries.
dir-spec.txt says:
<cite>
"directory-signature" SP identity SP signing-key-digest NL Signature
This is a signature of the status document, with the initial item
"network-status-version", and the signature item
"directory-signature", using the signing key. (In this case, we
take
the hash through the _space_ after directory-signature, not the
newline: this ensures that all authorities sign the same thing.)
"identity" is the hex-encoded digest of the authority identity
key of
the signing authority, and "signing-key-digest" is the hex-encoded
digest of the current authority signing key of the signing
authority.
</cite>
Does that mean "The hash from the network-status-version entry to the
*first* directory-signature entry including a SP"?
Or something else? The wording in dir-spec.txt is ambigous to me.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
