   // Requests a connection with another application. The application originating
   // the request is referred to as the "source" and the one receiving the
   // "target".
   //
   // The connection is embodied by a pair of message pipes binding the
   // InterfaceProvider interface, which allows both the source and target
   // applications to export interfaces to one another. The interfaces bound via
   // these InterfaceProviders are brokered by the shell according to the
   // security policy defined by each application in its manifest .
   //
   // If the target application is not running, the shell will run it, calling
   // its Initialize() method before completing the connection.
   //
   // Parameters:
   //
   //  name
   //    A mojo: or exe: name identifying the target application.
   //
   //  user_id
   //    The user id of the target application instance to connect to. If no such
   //    instance exists, the shell may start one. This user id will be passed
-  //    to the new instance via Initialize(). Applications must generally set
-  //    this to kUserInherit, and the shell will either connect to an existing
-  //    instance matching the caller's user id, create a new instance matching
-  //    the caller's user id, or connect to an existing instance running as
-  //    kUserRoot. By default, applications do not have the ability to pass
-  //    arbitrary values to this method, and doing so will result in a
+  //    to the new instance via Initialize(). Applications must generally pass
+  //    kInheritUserID for this value, and the shell will either connect to an
+  //    existing instance matching the caller's user id, create a new instance
+  //    matching the caller's user id, or connect to an existing instance
+  //    running as kRootUserID. By default, applications do not have the ability
+  //    to pass arbitrary values to this method, and doing so will result in a
   //    connection error on the remote service provider. An application with
   //    the ability to launch applications with arbitrary user ids (e.g. a login
-  //    app) may set this value to something meaningful to it.
+  //    app) may set this value to something meaningful to it. The user id
+  //    string is a valid guid of the form "%08X-%04X-%04X-%04X-%012llX", and
+  //    (aside from the root user whose guid is defined above) intended to be
+  //    not-guessable.

   //  remote_interfaces
   //    Allows the source application access to interface implementations
   //    exposed by the target application. The interfaces accessible via this
   //    InterfaceParameter are filtered by the security policy described by the
   //    source and target application manifests.
   //
   //  local_interfaces
   //    Allows the remote application access to interface implementations

   //    source and target application manifests.

   // Response parameters:
   //
+  //  user_id
+  //    The user id the shell ran the target application as. Typically a client

+  //    the shell into a valid user id returned through this callback.
+  //
   //  application_id
   //    A unique identifier for the instance that was connected to.
   //
-  //  user_id
-  //    The user id the shell ran the target application as. Typically a client
-  //    passes kUserInherit to Connect(), which is an invalid user id, so this
-  //    value in the response is guaranteed to be a valid user id, either the
-  //    id connected to, or kUserRoot if no user-specific instance was located.
