http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/haskell98-revised/haskell98-report-html/index.html
says "Revised: October 2001" - am I seeing the latest version?

Actually,
http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/haskell98-revised/haskell98-report-html/syntax-iso.html
has "November 2001" at the bottom so I guess I am.

You still have
    lexeme -> ... | qop | ...
in the lexical syntax but have
    qop -> qvarop | qconop
in the context-free syntax - is this deliberate? It really sucks IMO.
