Hi Bjorn,

do you still maintain the xhtml library? There is a request by a Debian
user about the type of hotlink (which I agree with). Could you consider
this enhancement with the next xhtml release?

Thanks,
Joachim

Package: libghc6-xhtml-dev
Version: 3000.0.2.1-2
Severity: wishlist

When using this library, I often found it inconvenient to convert the
argument of hotlink to an Html myself by calling toHtml.  I think
hotlink should instead accept any HTML a, and convert it by calling
toHtml.  This should prove source-compatible with any existing
callers, since an Html qualifies as an HTML.  This would change the
type of hotlink from

hotlink :: URL -> Html -> HotLink

to

hotlink :: HTML h => URL -> h -> HotLink

Notably, this makes it easier to curry hotlink, or to use it with
zipWith (if you have two lists) or uncurry (if you have a list of
tuples).  For the simple case of a single HTML type, it allows passing
that type directly with no parentheses or $, rather than having to use
parentheses or $ around the call to toHtml in the argument.
