$variables

On the call today I was told that the way to avoid the complication of 
the $variables in the spec is to choose not to view the SPARQL in the 
draft. However, even with the SPARQL hidden, the $variables are still 
visible since they are part of the explanatory text. So this does not 
solve the problem, and in fact it probably makes it worse because 
without the SPARQL the $variables make even less sense. For example, 
with SPARQL definitions hidden, you see:

**********

2.1.1 Node scopes (sh:scopeNode)

A node scope with value $scopeNode, defines $scopeNode as the node 
in-scope in the data graph.

Node scopes are defined with the sh:scopeNode predicate. The values of 
sh:scopeNode can be a IRIs or literals.

*************

I think they need to be removed from the text, and moved into the SPARQL 
code area, and the text should be complete without using them.
