As far as I can tell the only change to 7.3 Template Instantiation is to add
a clarification sentence at the end, which does not make a technical change
at all.

The beginning of 7.4 Template Injection does not make any sense at all.
What is an "instance node"?  The phrase does not occur elsewhere in the
document at all.  This section also overloads sh:scopeClass.


The approach continues to use rdfs:subClassOf for template inheritance.  The
rdfs:subClassOf property is defined on RDFS classes as the way to state that
one class is a subclass of another.  It is not about inheritance between
non-classes.  I thus vote against this change.  The first change that needs
to be done is to replace the use of rdfs:subClassOf.
