- spystath 1y agoChrome is the dominant browser. Sad as this may be removing it from Blink means de facto removing it from the spec. That being said, I'm not against removing features but neither this or the original post provide any substantial rationale on why it should be removed. Uses for XSLT do exist and the alternative is "just polyfill it" which is awkward especially for legacy content.
- tomComb 1y agoBut a browser doesn’t have agency – it’s Google that is doing this.
- Vosporos 1y agoBy metonymy it's referring to the browser's owner.
- NoGravitas 1y agoNot sure if you missed it, but a few days before this PR, Google did propose removing it from the spec.
- tomComb 1y agoBut that's my point - Google is proposing removing it from the spec. It's kinda weird to reformulate it for the headline as 'Chrome' is doing it.
