A trivial change 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), OR +* 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. Such changes should be small in scope (e.g., on the order of a few dozen characters changed at most); correcting non-normative code examples where the code clearly conflicts with normative requirements is fine, adding new non-normative code examples is not. + +If there is any doubt or disagreement as to whether requirements are changed, such changes should not be considered trivial. + #### Withdrawing contributions A [Contributor][contributor] may withdraw a [Contribution][Contributions] to a [Workstream] by notice to the [Steering Group]
