Hi Joachim,

Thanks for your bug report.

It is not exposed by default indeed, but every user should be able to
use it anyway by calling ghc/ghci with -package HaXml:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian/hat$ ghci -package HaXml
    ___         ___ _
   / _ \ /\  /\/ __(_)
  / /_\// /_/ / /  | |      GHC Interactive, version 6.4.2, for Haskell 98.
 / /_\\/ __  / /___| |      http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
 \____/\/ /_/\____/|_|      Type :? for help.

 Loading package base-1.0 ... linking ... done.
 Loading package haskell98-1.0 ... linking ... done.
 Loading package HaXml-1.13.2 ... linking ... done.
 Prelude> :m + Text.XML.HaXml
 Prelude Text.XML.HaXml> version
 "1.13.2"
 Prelude Text.XML.HaXml> :q
 Leaving GHCi.

I could make the package exposed by default but if someone installs it
from upstream source it also is not exposed by default. Thus I am
inclined to keep it hidden by default.

Greetings Arjan
