It wouldn't be too hard to add a plain ASCII backend to Haddock that generates the interfaces for modules without the implementation - that would address Benjamin's concern to some extent.
Yes, that would be most helpful. It's still not quite perfect because there is a typesetting step between what the programmer is writing in the .hs file and the way the generated interface looks -- people have to actually go to the trouble of running Haddock and double-checking that their interfaces look the way they intend. But I expect that this would become habitual pretty quickly, for those that care about this kind of interface documentation. - Benjamin
