Second, a warning about "loss of sharing" may befuddle beginners (who are usually not taught to write type signatures at the start).
Are standards documents the place for prescribing which warnings should be raised, and under what circumstances?
Not prescribing, no. It would be a recommendation. The Haskell 98 report already contains recommendations - see the section on pragmas, for example, and I'm sure there are more examples. Cheers, Simon
