I haven't used this but if it does a good job it should be fairly easy
to output Haml from HTML, since all the hard work is in the HTML
parser.

The original Haml in Ruby comes with a utility called html2haml that
does a good job; if you have some templates you want to convert right
now, then that might be an option for you.
