MPL and NPL are the same document now -- you just remove the appendix
for MPL.  [BTW, Mitchell is a she]

You can't do that.  Even though the license says we can redistribute
using a later version of MPL, James Clark needs to be the one who
changes all of the copyright clauses to say that it is MPL 1.1.
That's because of the nature of the differences between 1.0 and 1.1.

Life sucks sometimes.

Oh. I thought 6.2 said we could. I believe I understand the distinction
that you're making, though, and yes... it does seem prudent to have
Expat itself updated to the new license.

All right... I'll see if I can get Jim to release a new version under
MPL 1.1.
