I secondly doubt this. Would love a succinct list of "important" websites.

Do Library of Congress and Congress count? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44958929

It's not for the public to identify these sites. It's for the arrogant Googlers to do a modicum of research

  • At first glance the library of congress link appears to be using server side XSLT, which would not be affected by this proposal.

    The congress one appears to be the first legit example i have seen.

    At first glance the congress use case does seem like it would be fully covered by CSS [you can attach CSS stylesheets to generic xml documents in a similar fashion to xslt]. Of course someone would have to make that change.

      Of course. And yet none of the people from Google even seem to be aware of

      > The congress one appears to be the first legit example i have seen.

      There are more. E.g. podcast RSS feeds are often presented on the web with XSLT: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/231452.rss

      Again, none of the people from Google even seem to be aware of these use cases, and just power through regardless of any concerns.
