I've heard from several people that the Haml and Sass indentation rules seem confusing. Since my head is buried in the code, though, it's hard for me to tell why this is, how to fix it, or how to better document it. If you want to take on the documentation, and hopefully teach me something in the process, that would be absolutely fantastic. I would be happy to tell you anything you need to know about how the indentation works and why.
