I have a datatype
Relation element1 element2

(Ord element1, Ord element2, ??? element1 element2) => [...].
Why does Haddock generate this mysterious
??? element1 element2
context?

Haddock doesn't do any real type inference, it only handles some "easy" cases for deriving clauses. If you want nice documentation, you have to fake things a little bit (cut-n-paste from my OpenGL stuff):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
data GLmatrix a = GLmatrix MatrixOrder (ForeignPtr a)
#ifdef __HADDOCK__
-- Help Haddock a bit, because it doesn't do any instance inference.
instance Eq (GLmatrix a)
instance Ord (GLmatrix a)
instance Show (GLmatrix a)
#else
   deriving ( Eq, Ord, Show )
#endif
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cheers,
   S.
