Of course, Haskell should discard the rather tasteless IEEE754 crud, and do its calculations on infinite streams of digits. Then, rounding upwards after 'take'ing a sufficient amount of decimals will be the right thing to do.
Except arbitrary-precision real arithmetic is not as trivial as you make it sound, and using an infinite stream of digits is not sufficient by itself.
