Hello,

I meant non-ASCII characters in source code comments like this:
    {-|
        The execution time of this function is /n³/.
    -}
Currently, Haddock seems to copy the bytes making up the non-ASCII character 
verbatim to the HTML file.  But since the HTML file doesn't contain a 
character set specification, it is illformed and it depends on the browser 
how this situation is handled.
