> One extremely important...

Not to downplay what you think is important, but I think it's pretty important that governments and public bodies use XSLT.

They don't put ads on their sites, so I'm not surprised Google doesn't give a fuck about them...

Many governments and public bodies used Flash, ActiveX and Java applets, but I'm certainly glad we got rid of those.

		Replaced them with App stores, why one code base when you can have N code bases: web sites, ios, android , tv … cheaper, privacy-oriented and more secure lol obviously not, doesn’t help the consumer or the developer. Xslt is brilliant at transforming raw data, a tree or table for example, without having to install Office apps or paying a number of providers to simply view it without massive disruption loops.

Similarly, Chrome regularly breaks or outright drops support for web features used only in private enterprise networks. Think NTLM or Kerberos authentication, private CA revocation list checking, that kind of thing.

Again, nobody uses Google Ads on internal apps!
