The smaller connectors are standard too. Perhaps "non-fullsize connector 
sizes".

We're missing a micro-AB connector, but I think those are actually 
pretty rare. Most phones are micro-B connectors, but do both host and 
device.

This should also say endpoint 0 is USB-SS, endpoint 1 (and higher?) is 
Alternate Mode. And show in the example.

Having SBU to DP but no DP video path connection is wrong.
