This is an unhinged hypothetical. At least tether these things to reality.

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

That's fair.

The better phrased version of my criticism is that voice menus are generally not rendered using a web browser and thus deprecating xslt in web browsers cannot possibly affect them.

You can certainly use XSLT with https://www.w3.org/TR/voicexml20/ have you built software on any Linux platform? XSLT is required in so much stuff.

And did you render it in chrome?

Nobody is killing xslt in general, just the web browser bindings.

I mentioned it elsewhere but tons of enterprise backend automation and integration has web browsers and web browser components in the critical path, yes.
