I agree grammeric, punctuation, style, and form et al. would all be minor edits.  I think adjusting appearance of a page to either match the appearance of the rest of the page or a particular section or subsection to match and be more pleasing to to the eye should also be concidered minor edit.  There is nothing that is a bigger turn off to reading an item than when it doesn't have a smooth uniform look.

I consider "minor edits" to be anything that does not actually contribute any useful information, and does not radically change the page. So, spelling, grammar, and punctuation edits (unless large in scale) would be considered minor. Small corrections to style or format would be minor. However, any factual corrections are not minor.

I would go so far as to say that it's better to make minor edits separately from editing substance, so that if something is incorrect it can be safely rolled back without needing to re-edit spelling and grammar and such.

I tend to agree, minor edits should be changes that do not add or remove facts.
