I don't know if this breaks anybody else's code, but it certainly breaks mine. I guess I'll just have to stop using Data.Monoid and roll my own. That's not a serious hardship, I suppose.

The Monoid instance is not that widely used -- I think it is not too late to change. You could propose correcting it, with some examples of why it is more flexible

I've had a little think and this really pulls at a bigger bit of fabric. I'll try to make some sense locally in the next few days, but changing jobs may distract me. I'm heartened. Many thanks Conor
