confuser comments on RSS feeds are beginning to break once xslt support begins being dropped by browsers soon

It seems to have to do with how it looks formatting wise and not about availability or not, that is what is being meant.

That's just for those few websites that use their RSS feed as their content source. If they want to keep doing that they can just get a JavaScript library that provides XSLT functionality. The feed itself is untouched.

It's really hard to decide whether XSLT or JavaScript is worse. On the one hand XSLT wasn't cobbled together in a weekend. On the other it requires you to write XML and its "arrays" start at 1.

Would be easy to render the XSLT in the server. Could be cached nicely as well.
