The vendor discussion on removing XSLT is predicated on someone creating a polyfill for users to move to. It is not an unreasonable assumption because a polyfill can be created fairly trivially by compiling the existing XSLT processor to WASM.

And it is also fairly trivial to put that polyfill into the browsers.

The Chrome team has been moaning about XSLT for a decade. If security was really their concern they could have replaced the implementation with asm.js a decade ago, just as they did for pdfs.
