I think I would use the module system for namespacing rather than using function prefixes. Like so: import Text.Html as E import qualified Text.Html.Attribute as A E.html ! [A.class_ "my-class"] (... more combinators ...)
(Assuming that "!" is used to introduce attributes.) This allows you to use the element names and/or the attribute names unclassified if you so desire. html ! [class_ "my-class"] (... more combinators ...)
Function names in the 'html' library are unpredictable from corresponding element/attribute names... ("head", "base", "a" => "header", "thebase", "anchor")
I'm of the same opinion. The combinators should match the element/attribute names as far as possible. The rule that I had in mind was that the combinators should have exactly the same name as the corresponding element/tag except when the name collides with a keyword (e.g. "class"). If the name collides with a keyword we could e.g. always append a "_".
That's fine. However, I think no one uses unqualified import actually because of conflict with basic functions ("head", "id", "map") and existent of single character functions ("a", "b", "i", "p"). Anyway, I like the project. Thanks, iquiw
