Alas, no. CUP is, even as I type, printing the Haskell 98 Report. We'll have to think about how to accumulate further bugs/suggestions for H98. Meanwhile, I suspect there's an opportunity for someone (or a small group) to suggest a new Time library that really does the business, and provide an implementation. If it's sufficiently persuasive, all the implementations will adopt it and it can become a de-facto standard. The implementation is important because Time is a weird enough thing that only an expert can implement the spec! I think the current Time library suffered because no one who Really Cared about time was involved in its design or implementation.
