I suggest we continue to formulate the structural constraints in prose (section 4.1.1). This would keep the requirement for a formal SHACL file off our critical path. Remember that once we create such a file, then we also need to provide test cases etc. We have not even started to work on test cases for the "real" language, so what hope is there for the meta language...
