Actually, I was using "trivial" in two ways:
1. As a mathematician (yes, I've had several papers published in peer-reviewed 
journals), I was — as you noted — using it as a synonym for "doable".
2. As a professional XSLT programmer (yes, some of my income comes from writing 
stylesheets), I was using it in the sense of "extracting a strict subset of a 
XML tree is quite easy".
