It is misleading in so far that XSLT is an independent standard [1] and isn't owned by Google, so they cannot "kill it", or rather they'd have to ask W3C to mark it as deprecated.

What they can do is remove support for XSLT in Chrome and thus basically kill XSLT for websites. Which until now I didn't even know was supported and used.

XSLT can be used in many other areas as well, e.g. for XSL-FO [2]

You say they cannot kill it, and yet they are about to. We'll see who wins, reality or your word games.


What are you talking about? They can’t kill it. Most use is outside the browser. It’s not about mixing words.
