The version of Haskell with with we will be able to reach a significant
larger audience
will be a version that will have at least MPC's, such as used in
graphical user interfaces etc.
Therefore, IMHO, we should reserve a "glamourous" name such as Standard
Haskell for that
version of the language. Why not just Haskell for the current version?
