Personally, I would be much happier with the slogan "HXT = XML
transformations with filters". Browsing through Manuel's thesis, I
discover that your combinators are quite slick ( >>> , choiceA , when,
guards ), it's just that they are a very specialized subset of the
general arrow combinators. I think that dropping the arrows and
rebranding your nice set of combinators as "filter combinators" would
greatly improve the library.
But then, HXT's filter combinators would return to being rather like
HaXml's filter combinators, where the concept was first introduced.
Personally, I'm very happy that customers avoid HXT (due to the
complexity of the arrow interface), because that means more customers
for HaXml... :-)

P.S. Coming soon in the next release of HaXml: full support for xmlns
namespaces, and an XSDToHaskell translator.
