@Chris: Except of course that the type would be

xmlCharDeref :: XMLString -> String

In any case it’s hardly worth doing for the particular case where I had use for this function.

How about:

newtype XMLString = XMLString String

xmlCharDeref :: String -> XMLString

Now there’s no way you can accidentally encode twice.
