Re: Union operations on graphs

This is getting better.

However, it still appears possible that running a SHACL processor in an RDF
store could change the proto-shape graph or the proto-data graph.   I expected
wording something like:

SHACL processors MUST NOT change the graphs that they use to construct the
shapes graph or the data graph, even if these graphs are part of an RDF store
that allows changes to its stored graphs.  SHACL processors MAY store the
graphs that they create, such as a graph containing validation results, and
this operation MAY change existing graphs in an RDF store, but not any of the
graphs that were used to construct the shapes graph or the data graph.  SHACL
processing is thus idempotent.
