How about a bullet list of Haskell's features (maybe pros & cons) might be better; followed by a list of a few other languages and their trade-offs. As Jon Bentley has said, "design" is usually trade-offs but when you can come up with something that is a mutual benefit; so much the better. :)
An honest list of cons mentioned up-front is a great idea and would attract
me to a language. It shows me that the community is grounded, active ,
pragmatic and helpful.

Yes. It's called "damaging admission", and generally works very well: http://www.communemedia.com/blog/admit-weakness-to-strengthen-trust/ - jeremy
