+Vocabularies are collections of keywords and are defined by vocabulary document.
+For the 2019-09 and 2020-12 vocabularies, the documents are integrated into the

-An implementation declares support for a particular vocabulary via

+With vocabularies as the primary method for defining individual keywords,
+dialects can be created by combining different vocabularies.
+
+Users must confirm with an implementation's documentation whether a given
+vocabulary is supported.
 
 `$vocabulary` keyword is an object with URI keys and boolean values. The URIs
 identify each vocab, and the values indicate whether the implementation must
 "understand" that vocab in order to process the schema. This keyword is only
 processed when it is found as part of a meta-schema.
