I think it is unclear without the visual feedback that the spec provides:

1. Mark _transaction_ as not off-line.
2. Create a new cache transaction called _transaction_ and set data cache to be its data cache.

You can't set a property on something that isn't yet created. The individual rules 1 and 2 should be swapped. The arms (as I think you interpreted this) are themselves correct.
