Seems rather absolutist. XSLT was an idea that sounded good, but in practice was quite awkward (like many xml technologies) and never got off the ground. Do we really need to hang every failed experiment around browser vendors' necks forever? I would prefer they work on things people care about.

From one of the issue trackers:

"While it's important to not break existing web content, it's also important to prevent security vulnerabilities. XSLT has been in maintenance mode in browsers and has been an ongoing source of security issues."
