 Pitts et al introduced a beautiful theory about names and binding based on the
 notions of atoms, permutations and support. The engineering challenge is to
 smoothly adapt this theory to a theorem prover environment, in our case
-Isabelle/HOL. For this we have to make the theory compatible with choice
-principles, which the work by Pitts is not.  We present a formalisation of
-this work that is based on a unified atom type and that represents
-permutations by bijective functions from atoms to atoms. Interestingly, we
-allow swappings, which are permutations build from two atoms, to be
-ill-sorted.  We extend the nominal logic work with a formalisation of an
+Isabelle/HOL. For this we have to formulate the theory so that it is
+compatible with choice principles, which the work by Pitts is not.  We

 abstraction operator that binds sets of names.
