I don’t know how they’re used in RSS feeds, but I’d pay $100 if I never had to write XSLT ever again 🤷

    some context.

    (tldr: libxslt is a significant source of vulnerabilities and it should absolutely be removed from browsers ASAP.)

    Why not fix library, corporate are lacking of founds to fix all the tickets ? Reminds me of Google openssl fork because it's not "their" opensource product so they won't contribute or pay someone to do it.

    Looking through the comments, someone already wrote a polyfill that people could use if they need it. It's a niche feature that is the source of security vulnerabilities, so why fix it if they can safely replace it?

    To have good XSLT library that follows standard ? But no we got html5 and now web components and shadow DOM slop that is not even accessible from javascript instead of proper XSLT because nobody wants to deal with it. XPath is broken since the beginning of this shit show.

    It worked for JPEG XL, so I'm not surprised to see them following the same script with other features.

    Fiddle with the numbers, ignore counter arguments, claim there's no real support, close the discussion and proceed like everybody has come to a decision that just happens to match yours.
