Slightly loosen the language defining dialects and vocabularies.

Even though this isn't fully consistent with the current spec definitions, it
matches colloquial uses, and perhaps plans for future changes to these two
concepts, without sacrificing accuracy today.

 A vocabulary is specified by a prose document or specification which explains the semantics of its keywords in a way suitable for implementers and users of the vocabulary.
 It often also includes a [meta-schema](#meta-schema) (or multiple metaschemas) which define the syntax of its keywords.
 
 Anyone can create and publish a vocabulary, and implementations generally will include facilities for extending themselves with support for additional vocabularies and their keywords.
 The JSON Schema specification includes a number of vocabularies which cover each of the keywords it defines.
 
-Vocabularies are identified by a URI which may be referenced via the `$vocabulary` keyword in order to enable the vocabulary within a [dialect](#dialect).
+In some [dialects](#dialect) of JSON Schema, the `$vocabulary` keyword can be used to include the keywords defined by a vocabulary into the dialect, as well as to indicate whether implementations must specifically recognize the vocabulary in order to be able to process schemas written in the dialect or not.
