"Micro-BLISS is a subset of BLISS-16. The BLISS-16 compiler is a
cross-compiler; that is, it executes on a VAX-11, a DECsystem-10, or a
DECsystem-20, but compiles code for the PDP-11. The Micro-BLISS compiler
is a native compiler, which runs on a PDP-11 with the RSX-11M operating
system and compiles code for the same machine."

I'm sorry, but I've never heard of uBliss. Where can you find that one?
I know that DEC never had a Bliss compiler for the PDP-11 that ran
natively. Which is a minor headache for RSX, since the file name parse
directive is written in BLISS. That has to be compiled on VMS, which
produces MACRO-11 code, that is transported over to the RSX system,
where
it can be compiled along with the rest of the kernel at a sysgen.
I also happen to have some Bliss manuals somewhere, which covered
differences and similarities between BLISS-16, BLISS-32 and BLISS-36.
(Long time since I looked, but the same manual covered all of them I
think, and the pocket reference was definitely for all of them.)
