I still can't wrap my head around AI companies trying to reinvent REST with MCP at the same time they kill off XSLT A single server shipping XSLT provides proper RESTful content for LLMsLLMs with schemas and self a documenting APIs. The same endpoint tells browsers where to find templates to render a webpage out of iit 🔗 https://tonysull.co/death-of-xslt
