A developer created a blog publishing framework using XSLT, an XML-based technology, to simplify content management and site generation without complex build systems.

Why it matters: XSLT enables separation of content and presentation, allowing easy blog updates with just XML and no server-side scripting.

The big picture: Despite being a 20-year-old standard, XSLT remains effective for modern browsers and could simplify web publishing workflows.

The stakes: XSLT's future is uncertain as some propose removing it from web standards, but it currently works well and is open source.

Commenters say: Many appreciate the minimalist, no-JavaScript approach, while others were initially confused about the topic but find the framework intriguing.
