I spent two hours on my first day with haddock figuring out that I needed an empty comment line before a code block. It didn't issue any warnings or errors either.

Everyone agrees it's useful to have @i<legible> markup :) I'm impressed with Mateusz' balanced summary of the issues and look forward to his GSoC project submission about _Markdown_. Conrad.
