Is OOXML Artifically Complex?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-04 17:07:00

Is OOXML Artifically Complex? A while ago, the official blog of LibreOffice published a provocative article: “An artificially complex XML schema as a lock-in tool.” Its target is Microsoft’s XML-based file formats — the Office Open XML (OOXML). The article alleges that, although Microsoft put its Office formats through standardization, the spec is engineered to be so complex that it obstructs interoperability with third-party software. Moreover, the complexity is allegedly gratuitous and disco

TLDR I created a blog publishing framework built on XSLT. You can see it at https://xsltblogdemo.vgr.land/ and get the source here https://github.com/vgr-land/vgr-xslt-blog-framework Introduction Why build my own web publishing framework? It doesn't make any sense to do so. There are enough web frameworks out there to last everyone the rest of time. I wrote this for me.

XSLT removal will break multiple government and regulatory sites

What is the issue with the HTML Standard? One of the issues we've seen in #11523 and #11563 is that the proposal to remove XSLT from the spec doesn't acknowledge existing use cases beyond Chrome Status counter stats. According to Chrome's own Blink principles of web compatibility: The primary signal we use is the fraction of page views impacted in Chrome, usually computed via Blink’s UseCounter UMA metrics.

A dive into open chat protocols I’m between projects right now, so as is my idiom I’m going to take some random topic that has caught me on a manic swing in my little bipolar life, and dive deeper into it for a few days.

Go Assembly Mutation Testing

While maintaining and developing the Go cryptography standard library, we often spend significantly more time on testing than on implementation. That’s good and an important part of how we achieve our excellent security track record. Ideally, this would be especially true for the least safe parts of the library. However, testing assembly cores presents unique challenges, due to their constant-time nature. This has been a long-standing issue. For Go 1.26, I am working on introducing a mutation

In the mid-1990s you could create useful software without being an ace coder. You had Visual Basic, you had a rich ecosystem of components, you could wire them together to create apps, standing on the shoulders of the coders who built those components. If you’re younger than 45 you may not know what that was like, nor realize web components have never worked the same way.
