My idea is simple. This used to generate a div:
.foo
It would become <div class="foo">. But when we are in a UL element, for
example, DIV doesn't make sense (it's not allowed). The only allowed child
for UL is LI (list item). So:
%ul
.foo Item
This would become:
<ul><li class="foo">Item</li></ul>
I call it "smart implicit tag". Smart, because implicit tag can not always
be a DIV. In TABLEs, it's a TR. In a lot of elements that don't allow
children of type block (like DIV), it's a SPAN. For instance, a paragraph
doesn't allow DIV as child element, so the smart implicit tag inside a P
would be a SPAN.
Here is a test template from my branch where I implemented it:

You can see how this can save typing.
