> Chrome is not interested in this. The XML parts of our pipeline are in maintenance mode and we would love to eventually deprecate and remove them, or at least replace them with something that generates less security bugs. Increasing the capabilities of XML in the browser runs counter to that goal.
Huh? Is he saying they want to remove XML support? Doesn't this include... the DOM?
This proposal seems reasonable but I don't understand this response by someone representing Chrome. Seems like this guy woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
- bawolff 6y agoThe html dom isn't really xml.
- timgilbert 6y agoThat's true, although as someone commented in the github thread, SVG diagrams are very much XML, with a namespace and everything.

- recursive 6y agoNo. HTML is not XML, other than SVG and co.
