Hi Yong,

Patches 1-2, 9-15, and 17-19 all R-b'd by me.  All are obviously correct
copyediting to documentation, and I'll land them directly.

Since patch #16 affects protocol I've opted to omit it from speedy
landing.  But the spelling fix is correct so +1 from me.

The xdg-shell and text-input patches I've left out just because there
are new versions for each of those protocols in the works, and I'm
hesistant on introducing a delta that could potentially cause problems.

For xdg-shell, its v6 is being developed in a branch:

  https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/

For text-input, it doesn't have a branch, but the most recent rev of its
v2 update is:

  https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/79435/

As I understand it, new major versions of protocols will be
co-installable, so presumably copyedits to the earlier versions of the
protocols won't cause merge conflicts or anything, so maybe these are
safe to land?  However, maybe there might be some benefit during the
final stages of development if diffs between the two protocols aren't
cluttered up with copyedits?  In any case, it probably makes sense to
copyedit the new versions of the protocols so we don't inadvertantly
regress the fixes when moving to the new versions.

So, first make sure to give review on text-input-v2 and xdg-shell-v6.
Second, I guess we should decide if copyedits to the older versions of
the protocols are worth doing, and if so should they be landed
separately from the new protocols or be included with them?
