A trivial contribution is one that fits one of the following categories: + +* Makes no changes to the visible text content (for example, fixing broken links, style sheets, or markup). +* Does not affect conformance (e.g., corrects a typographic error in a descriptive sentence), which should not change architectural or interoperability requirements for an implementation.
