Re: shapes-ISSUE-19 (S35 not RDF): S35 appeals to something that is not RDF

I have updated the wiki [1] with the following additional text:

This user story is motivated by Linked Data and how information resources 
are created (e.g. via HTTP POST) or modified (e.g. via HTTP PUT). In these 
situations, the body of the HTTP request has an RDF content type (RDF/XML, 
Turtle, JSON-LD, etc.). The server typically needs to verify that the body 
of the request satisfies some application-specific constraints. If the 
request does not satisfy the constraints them it will fail the request and 
respond with 400 Bad Request or some similar response. 
This user story draws attention to the fact that RDF content is in general 
a graph. The concept of RDF graph is defined in 
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-rdf-graph. A general RDF 
graph may not be connected and in fact disconnected RDF graphs do appear 
in real-world Linked Data specifications. Therefore, the output of this 
workgroup must support the description of constraints on general RDF 
graphs, connected or not.

shapes-ISSUE-19 (S35 not RDF): S35 appeals to something that is not RDF

S35 
https://www.w3.org/2014/data-shapes/wiki/User_Stories#S35:_Describe_disconnected_graphs 
talks about a containment relationship that is implicit because a node is 
in a graph.  This appears to be outside the scope of RDF.
