Thanks Richard. I was unaware of the XML versions.
So, this would mean that SPDX considers what Debian calls the MIT (Expat)
license to match what SPDX calls MIT because the differences are all either
considered by SPDX to be omittable or replaceable as demonstrated by the tags
in the XML file

Not opinion. Just the point of what the meaning of _text colors_
*rollingeyes* in a license do mean. I just ignored them and then those
two licenses differ.

SPDX itself might have an answer that is satisfactory:
"The original replaceable text appears on the SPDX License List webpage in red
text."
"Omittable text appears on the SPDX License List webpage in blue text."

There appears to be some question of opinion as to if the Debian MIT (Expat)
License is
the same as the SPDX MIT License.

https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html[2]
Can somebody at Debian Legal please comment?
