Listing all constraint parameters would create a very long diagram.
There can also be user-defined ones. And constraints may have labels and
an infinite number of other properties. Likewise showing all classes
would be too overwhelming - look at the TTL file to get an idea of the
complexity. It's supposed to be an informal introduction only, not a
reference.
For examples of how other W3C specs use diagrams, see
https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/
https://www.w3.org/TR/r2rml/
https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-vocab-data-cube-20140116/
They all have an overview diagram in the beginning.
