The idea is not to just remove things for the sake of removing things, but to engage in a cost-benefit analysis. Most of the things listed above either are very widely used or don't cost much or have other downsides to maintain. By contrast, when things have been removed from the Web platform in the past, it was because they were causing problems out of proportion to the amount of breakage induced by removing them. In the case of XSLT, the problem is the attack surface that it adds. |

Kinda sad since slapping a generic template onto some familiar xml implementation seems a wonderful thing.
I've always wanted browsers to provide a set of standard templates. 90% of the time I don't care about the design, I just want something functional right now.
