One big problem with this is that it would break all pre-existing Haml 
code out there, unless for some reason they never used elements or text 
nodes. Also, it would invalidate the manual use of HTML, although I 
suppose that could be added as a special case. Really, though, I think I 
prefer the current way of doing it. It just feels right.
