Minor version bumps which leave the API unchanged shouldn't break anything, http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Package_versioning_policy
Neil, in this case i think, tagsoup's version shouldn't have changed from 0.6 to minor 0.8 while exported definitions such as "optLookupEntity" were removed.
Changing version number 0.6 -> 0.8 is a major release increment, not a minor one, according the package versioning policy linked to.
Which I found rather irritating initially. I had 'learned' that version numbers go Major.Minor.Patchlevel[.optionalLineNoise] and then coming to terms with Major.major.Minor[.optionalStuff] took a couple of days.
