Why did you fork it? I thought the policy for packages ghc needs is to
sync with an upstream?
I believe when Simon made the repo he couldn't find an upstream repo.
I guess Robin and you/the GHC team will need to decide which repo to keep
going, then. Having both indefinitely would be horrible.
It makes sense to have the repo at
http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/xhtml/ be the upstream repo, and for
GHC to sync with it.  I haven't yet looked at the XHTML in GHC HEAD to
see whether it is out of sync.
GHC uses the http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/* repos for its
libraries. In some cases these are the main repo, and in other cases
they are periodically synced with an upstream repo.

For xhtml, an upstream repo on community probably makes most sense.
