Someone sent me a link about
[XSLT getting deprecated](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/deprecating-xslt).
And, that's [expected](/tdro/messages/xslt/#tdro-messages-xslt). Welcome to
the real world? Browser {{< abbr APIs "application programming interfaces" >}}
are [not as reliable](/tdro/messages/dlink/#tdro-messages-dlink) as you'd
think.

In fact, one can sus out the "true" APIs of anything by analyzing a company's
repositories for usages (Mozilla, Google, Apple). This allows you to
[guess](/tdro/messages/bundle/#tdro-messages-bundle) at deprecations,
[wrongly](https://deno.com/blog/v2.4).

I'm not an {{< abbr "XML" "Extensible Markup Language" >}} person, but if
[XSL transformations](https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/) are interesting (like to
[Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/#what-is-markdown)),
look at [Paligo/xee](https://github.com/Paligo/xee?tab=readme-ov-file#xee)
([Rust](https://rust-lang.org/)). I think I wrote about extensible stylesheets
(and [Saxonica](https://www.saxonica.com/welcome/welcome.xml)) somewhere after
being impressed by XML pros in action.
