(and for what it's worth "makes no sense on its own," makes no sense

hey look the way you seem to define a quine you just quote a phrase, 
follow it with 'is' and then repeat the phrase.  hardly cricket.

english?

>(I don't speak for the OSI board, of course.)

of course not, but how am I to know that.  you sure sound like you 
speak with some authority on this list.
