RE: Proposed solution for Issue 4141

We have no objections to use simple text in the Guidelines document. The minimum needed to resolve issue 3985 is: text in Section 4.4.1 'Assertions with Parameters' [1] (Guidelines document) should be in sync with the normative material in the Framework document.

IMO, Prasad has a valid point and I agree with your suggestion to have a simpler text in the Primer, but this suggestion contradicts the proposal made by Microsoft for the Guidelines document in not repeating the content of the specification and just referring to the specification itself in [Issue 3985]. 

We need to treat both the Primer and the Guidelines document in the same manner. Either BOTH documents restate the spec or both refer to the specification. 

However, it seems to me that we do not want to hold 4141 for the primer and guidelines if our goal is to fix the LC issues first.  

Prasad: Could you open an issue for Primer on this? We should fix both the primer and the 3985 at the same time.
