Not to mention that GHC does not comply with the H'98 standard either:

It's still a matter of choice. So we're saying there are no
implementations of Haskell 98? Sounds like the same problem C++ and
C99 have.

Why is this such a problem?
You can still write and compile very beautiful programs with both GHC
and UHC.
And keep in mind that the UHC compiler is probably not designed to
replace GHC and to be fully compliant with the Haskell 98 standard. It
still has a very useful place in education and is certainly worth
looking at.
It is intensively making use of the attribute grammar system to
perform traversals over the different internally used languages. This
is a very different approach from what GHC does which makes it very
interesting from an educational and scientific point of view.
I encourage you to take a look inside, it is reasonably easy to grasp
what going on inside of UHC.
