The ExtensibleStylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) language is used by webbrowsers to style XML content to make it easily readable; XSLT is part of theHTML livingstandard that is maintained by the Web Hypertext Application TechnologyWorking Group (WHATWG). Only a small fraction of web sites servecontent that requires web browsers to support XSLT, in part becausemajor browser implementations have neglected the technology over the past 25years. Now, it seems, they would like to rid themselves of itentirely. A planto disable XSLT in Blink (Chrome's rendering engine) and a pull request bya Google Chrome developer to remove mentions of the specification fromthe HTML standard have been met with opposition, but arguments infavor of XSLT have proven ineffective.
