Hi Jeff Thanks.
OpenVG is an interesting bit of kit, however... VGU - the higher level layer - would be hard pressed to be less like Haskell, you draw shapes and lines while passing a path handle around. Also, Shiva-VG - http://sourceforge.net/projects/shivavg - the implementation of OpenVG that the Haskell binding works with supports OpenVG 1.0.1, so it doesn't handle text at all. Text functions were added to the OpenVG at version 1.1. In the short term, this limits the usefulness of OpenVG, but if the implementations develop it does look like a good prospect.
