Yes, adding support for Haddock style comment markup to the current HTML 
renderer in the Programatica tools shouldn't be hard, so I might do 
that. If I also add support for generating Haddock style documentation, 
I could take advantage of the fact that the Programatica tools can infer 
types, to compensate for the lack of explicit type signatures in source 
code.
