If we allow arbitrary markup for assertions messages, I think it's good, if we
have some guidelines (for example, the spec can say, "the string value of the
error message is, the concatenation of all text node descendants -- in document
order; of the error markup root node"), on how error messages should be
constructed for printing on consoles, or say storing them in string variables,
in programming languages, because that's the most common way, error messages
are utilized. Or perhaps, we can just say, that utilizing the error markup is,
implemented defined.

Mukul
