html2haml won't work with the new elements in html5 because hpricot is very conservative about content models. hpricot is in maintenance mode and they may not accept a patch to make it more liberal. In any case, since hpricot development and suport is limited at best moving to something under active development/support like nokogiri would be nice.

Even if the patch goes into hpricot, it'd be a good idea to move to (something like) nokogiri.

I don't have time to do this right now so I'm posting more for posterity and so others will find something when they have problems with html2haml on html5.
