Other information

The recent proposal from Google to remove XSLT from the HTML living specification has gathered overwhelmingly negative sentiment among regular users of the web.

I can see that at least two Mozillians already responded, but it is unclear to me if these comments reflect their personal stance or Mozilla's. Due to the expected and apparently just accepted breakage in combination with a lack of viable alternatives for some use-cases, I would like to request Mozilla's official stance on this issue.

Thank you!
