I didn't think about One True Haskell Framework, but about, at least
one, which can run on shared hosting using nginx, cherokee, lighty
server, some templating engine, database back-end and decently
documented.

That's true, but Python is much bigger community in comparison and,
afaics, Python web frameworks have lot of docs, some even many books
written about them.

That's great and I'm very happy seeing that Happstack may become
WAI-ready.
