Sorry for not replying on this topic sooner.

I've taken a look at your replacement URI, and it looks great.  The
Haddock markup needs a little cleanup, but the interface looks fine.

Since it's mostly backwards compatible, there's no issue with upgrading
it in place.  (well, there's one small issue: it introduces a dependency
from the network package on the parsec package, but that's not a big
deal).

We'll arrange for CVS access so you can commit your new version to the
repository.

Cheers,
