We use it at my library/archive to convert EADs (XML finding aids) into something we can present to a human.
This change breaks something that’s been working for us without issue for over a decade, and it’s personally a PITA because I’m the only dev-adjacent person in the library and fixing this takes me away from other stuff. (I’m spread thin and we’ve been in a hiring freeze for 5 years. I love my coworkers but there’s so much work stuff I have to deprioritoze in order to do the important stuff, it feels unfair when a big corporation decides to break something on me.)
I can’t guarantee an online researcher/visitor has anything other than a browser and I sure as heck don’t want to walk them through installing something on whatever machine they’re using. I do enough tech support as it is.
Current plan is to have the web server do it, it’s just another thing on my plate that I need to figure out how to do.
Who TF is still using XSLT?
Good riddance.

You just need literally anything else other than the native browser to do it no?

Dayum that’s rough
Should never have been in the browser anyway.
