For rails 2.3:

Install the gem haml then add the following initializer config/initializers/force_html4.rb:

Haml::Template::options[:format] = :html4

module StandardistaHelper
  def tag(name, options = nil, open = false, escape = true)
    "<#{name}#{tag_options(options, escape) if options}>"
  end
end

ActionView::Base.send :include, StandardistaHelper

ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag.class_eval do
  def tag_without_error_wrapping(name, options = nil, open = false, escape = true)
    "<#{name}#{tag_options(options, escape) if options}>"
  end
end
