 section {* Strong Induction Principles *}
 
 text {*
-  In the previous section we derived induction principles for alpha-equated terms. 
-  We call such induction principles \emph{weak}, because for a 
-  term-constructor \mbox{@{text "C\<^sup>\<alpha> x\<^isub>1\<dots>x\<^isub>r"}}
-  the induction hypothesis requires us to establish the implications \eqref{weakprem}.
-  The problem with these implications is that in general they are difficult to establish.
-  The reason is that we cannot make any assumption about the bound atoms that might be in @{text "C\<^sup>\<alpha>"}. 
-  (for example we cannot assume the variable convention for them).
+  In the previous section we derived induction principles for alpha-equated
+  terms (see \eqref{induct} and \eqref{inductex}). This was done by lifting
+  the corresponding inductions principles for ``raw'' terms.  We already
+  employed these induction principles in order to derive several facts for
+  alpha-equated terms, including the property that the free-variable functions
+  and the notion of support coincide. Still, we call these induction
+  principles \emph{weak}, because for a term-constructor, say \mbox{@{text
+  "C\<^sup>\<alpha> x\<^isub>1\<dots>x\<^isub>r"}}, the induction hypothesis requires us to
+  establish (under some assumptions) a property @{text "P (C\<^sup>\<alpha>
+  x\<^isub>1\<dots>x\<^isub>r)"} for \emph{all} @{text "x"}$_{1..r}$. The problem is that in the
+  presence of binders we cannot make any assumptions about the atoms that are
+  bound, and we have to potentially rename them. This renaming has to be
+  done manually and is often very cumbersome (especially in the case for 
+  multiple bound atoms).
+
+  For the older versions of Nominal Isabelle we introduced in
+  \cite{UrbanTasson05} a method for automatically strengthening weak induction
+  principles in case of single binders. These stronger induction principles
+  allow the user to make additional assumptions about bound atoms. The main
+  point is that these additional assumptions amount to a formal version of the
+  informal variable convention for binders and nearly always make manual
+  renaming of binders unnecessary.
+
+  To explain how the strengthening works in the presence of multiple binders,
+  we use as running example the lambda-calculus with @{text "Let"}-patterns
+  shown in \eqref{letpat}. Its weak induction principle is given in \eqref{inductex}.
+  The stronger induction principle is as follows
 
-  In \cite{UrbanTasson05} we introduced a method for automatically
-  strengthening weak induction principles for terms containing single
-  binders. These stronger induction principles allow the user to make additional
-  assumptions about bound atoms. 
-  These additional assumptions amount to a formal
-  version of the informal variable convention for binders. 
-  To sketch how this strengthening extends to the case of multiple binders, we use as
-  running example the term-constructors @{text "Lam"} and @{text "Let"}
-  from example \eqref{letpat}. Instead of establishing @{text " P\<^bsub>trm\<^esub> t \<and> P\<^bsub>pat\<^esub> p"},
-  the stronger induction principle for \eqref{letpat} establishes properties @{text " P\<^bsub>trm\<^esub> c t \<and> P\<^bsub>pat\<^esub> c p"}
-  where the additional parameter @{text c} controls
-  which freshness assumptions the binders should satisfy. For the two term constructors 
-  this means that the user has to establish in inductions the implications
