Didn't this effort start with Mozilla and not Google? I think you will in fact forget the name Mason Freed, just like most of us forgot about XSLT. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It started with Mozilla, Apple, and Opera jumping ship and forming WHATWG. That stopped new XML related technologies from being adopted in browsers twenty years ago. Google is just closing the casket and burying the body. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> Didn't this effort start with Mozilla and not Google? Maybe round one of it like ten years ago did? From what I understand, it's a Google employee who opened the "Hey, I want to get rid of this and have no plans to provide a zero-effort-for-users replacement." Github Issue a few months back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Why would I forget about XSLT a really good technology pushed to the wayside by bad faith actors? Why would I forget Mason Freed? A person dedicating themselves to ruining perfectly good technology that needs a little love. Do you have some sort of exclusive short term memory or something where you can’t remember someone’s name? Bizarre reply. Other people may have had a similarly lazy idea, but Mason is the one pushing and leading the charge. It seems maybe you want me to blame this on Google as a whole but that would mean bypassing blame and giving into their ridiculous bs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
