"The quality of the Effective MPL (especially after the new MPL changes) is
not very good anyway. I would like to make a major overhaul, testing all
code examples, changing the code layout (moving it to docbook perhaps), and
making it 1.30.0 MPL conformant), but I won't have any time for at least
another three weeks. If somebody wants to beat me to it (Dirk?) great, but
otherwise it'll have to wait."

Agreed. Will make the change eventually.
