There is also an excellent paper in tutorial style which imho is very useful to understand the interaction of lazyness with the Control.Parallel.Strategies combinators: "Algorithm + Strategy = Parallelism" Philip W. Trinder, Kevin Hammond, Hans-Wolfgang Loidl, and Simon L. Peyton Jones.

That's MUCH better, thanks. That's not what's directly available from haskell.org. It still doesn't give anything more general about using the combinators in actual programs, you know, like examples, but it's at least some clear documentation as to what each strategy does.
Maybe one day, when I have a parallel program actually working, I could document that...

Is there anything that documents this further than the Haddock documentation available from Haskell.org or the GHC pages? I've gotten some basic parallelism to work using parMap and using >|| and >|, but I had a fold and a map that I could logically compute at the same time.

Maybe that's what you're looking at, but the darcs version has some more Haddock comments, see http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/ docs/libraries/base/Control-Parallel-Strategies.html
