Well, it's a [standard from 1999](https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-10/), which has been superseded by [two new major releases](https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt/) ([2.0 in 2009](https://www.w3.org/TR/2009/PER-xslt20-20090421/), and [3.0 in 2017](https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/)) with a [4.0 version in the works since 2020](https://archive.xmlprague.cz/2020/files/xmlprague-2020-proceedings.pdf#page=121). Browsers, to my knowledge, only implement version 1.0, from 27 years ago. So at least in my personal view, we're decades behind the latest standard.

Having said all of that, I really don't mind changing the language completely - just let me know what you'd be comfortable saying. I can even go back to just saying "it's deprecated" without the reason. But the other example @zcorpan [pointed me to](https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/12805#issuecomment-5368161294) included a motivation, so I was just trying to follow that pattern.
