#genuary11 quine

Not a quine; I don't have a lot of patience for code golf. But I played with the text of the program that made this.

Work continues on XPath 4, XQuery 4, XSLT 4 - see https://www.qt4cg.org/ - but the focus has shifted to “getting it finished”i think. Although i wasn’t able to be as active as i wanted (and had a meeting conflict) i did write some proposals, some accepted and some not.

If you have concerns, now is teh time to voice them. Or sooner 🙂
