Nice one! Although it seems that the engineers at the different browser vendors are committed to remove XSLT due to reasons outlined here [1]. It's a shame these Discussions got so heated, but that's just the nature of the internet, I guess.

Unfortunately a topic like this is perfect bait for a lot of the resentments folks have with the modern internet ecosystem. There’s some rarely used tech that few have talked about in a long time. Tech giants have decided somewhat unilaterally to get rid of it because it’s barely used and has had security flaws. There’s a discussion to be had about that specifically but most people didn’t care a jot about XSLT until it was threatened. What they do care about is tech giants controlling the fate of the internet. That’s a far bigger issue than can be solved in a GitHub discussion, but it doesn’t stop anyone trying. | ||

There is a related issue to instead add XSLT 3 support [1] | ||
