Re: more sloppiness in the SHACL document

This fixes one problem but introduces another.

There can be more than one focus node in play at any given time.  (Yes, this
is itself quite sloppy, but the new wording has brought temporal issues into
play.)   There might be more than one shape or constraint currently in play
for any of these focus nodes.

The part of the document on validation reports has quite a few similar issues.
 Aside from those that I have already pointed out there is the issue that
various validation results are supposed to be temporary but the value of
sh:result MUST include them all.
