#firefox #mozilla In case you missed the previous announcement, I've published the second part in my series about #Google killing the #openWeb (by proxy, via their forced deprecation of #XSLT and a fortiori #XML

The previous chapter, with a strong historical review of the last decade plus of events, is still at

One thing I would like to add to this second part is a directory of interesting #indieWeb examples of XSLT usage. Suggestions welcome.
Dear @timbl,
I kindly ask you to consider talking to the people at #Mozilla to keep #xml documents with human-friendly rendering via #xslt visible in #Firefox.
Not only needs the web decentralisation, but also raw, machine-readable data in human-friendly appearance. #Feeds, #RDF, etc. Dropping #w3c standards and backwards-compatibiity in this regard makes the web an unreliable medium for long-term publishing and archiving of such documents, even more so for small entities with limited resources. Big players have no problem continuously overhauling their archives to meet the viewers' habits du-jour and adapt to fast-moving, volatile practices.
Please say no to this #enshittification.
Yours,
@mro
