My point is that literate Haskell programs are not just Haskell files, but also, for example, markdown or latex files, or even database entries representing a wiki page or a blog entry. Such programs are therefore processed by third-party tools outside of the Haskell eco-system, and it seems unrealistic that the Haskell report could unilateraly mandate how they are encoded. I think the Haskell report should not discourage Haskell implementations from being flexible about encoding. Tillmann
