On the other hand, one way to fix this problem *is* to specify the relative precedence of 'let' & co. as compared to infix operators (namely that 'let' should have a lower precedence). That would be a reasonable fix for the H98 report, IMO.
Except that it would break programs containing expressions like 1 + let x = 2 in e or (if you do the same for lambda) f $ \x -> e The old table had let (and if and lambda) in two places, which is more less what GHC/Hugs do, but not a mere clarification.
