> But can users really call it an "update" if you could view an XML/XSLT document in Internet Explorer 6 or Chrome 1 but not the newest version?
Yes. Just like we don't have Flash everywhere or ActiveX. Good riddance to them and to XSLT and, fingers crossed, XML in the future.
I'm going to say this calmly and politely to you. You think this is some kind of "fun" spicy take, but considering that some rely on these technologies I find your remark to be incredibly offensive and insulting. If we were discussing this face to face you'd have a major problem right now
It would help if you would give some details about how you rely on Flash/ActiveX/XML. Is it a matter of life and death? If so, how?
