Understood. Good to know, thanks!
That is odd...but I'm not a Firefox maintainer, so maybe parsing XML and XSL isn't worth maintaining...?
Officially, xhtml is HTML implemented in XML.
There's definitely an argument for HTML5, but I don't think it would necessarily be a purely technical one.
Firefox does still parse XSL style sheets for XML. I use this for some personal projects. It works even on mobile, but you do have to navigate precisely to the page (in other words, setting the XML target as the htaccess default index page fails to render on mobile. It's on my todo list to file a bug about that..)
Here's a quick proof-of-concept. It's working on both mobile and the latest Firefox for me:
