       I think it's still worth raising a stink about XSLT being removed from browsers.Essentially breaks how 500,000+ podcasters rely on their RSS feeds to work (be viewable in browser).Made a video here:https://youtu.be/KLXgUcicFRs(I'll try to write a blog post tomorrow)@dave @adam @js @james

       @transistor @dave @adam @james the time to stink was last year, and many podcasting folks weighed inthis is something it seems the browser makers _really_ want to do, so it's gonna happenhttps://podcastindex.social/@js/114971171676752193

       @js @transistor @adam @james Google really wanted to do it.  The other members of the WHATWG didn't even notice and are basically just Google's yes men.  Google owns browsers now, so they do whatever they want.The WHATWG (i.e. Google) always says the public is "welcome to participate".  That just means they are happy to explain to you why they are doing what they want.  It doesn't mean your desires matter.  They do not.

       @dave @js @transistor @adam We have CSS for XML which avoids the “OH NO A BIG SCREEN OF CODE SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG”.But this is a UX issue. We shouldn’t be putting an RSS feed in front of a user as an equivalent click to Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts etc. Any links to RSS visible by the user should be carefully explained, and probably accompanied with a dialog box with details of how to use it to hand-hold them.I’d be happy to write a first pass of that, but someone needs to put it into user testing to ensure users understand it.Only 10% of podcasts use XSLT. It is a waste of energy  trying to retain it. It’s gone. Let’s sort out the UX issue.
