Re: shapes-ISSUE-154 (value set not defined): the description of sh:equals and sh:disjoint use the term "value set", which is not defined

The point of writing a specification of a language is to be precise.  I find
much of the wording in the current SHACL specification to be much too loose.
Although I will not object to the current wording here, I do not view it as
adequately precise to serve as the support for part of a W3C recommendation.
