I agree that these are overkill, and making them separate classes simply
bloats everything. However, if they are wanted, we could create a meta class
called HTML_Elements. But I personally don't think it would be worth the
efforts for most elements.
I'd rather have an HTML_Processor (I'm going to have to make a legacy
release of that, too, I guess) which would parse and convert existing HTML
to convert it between various standards and make it complient. I know
HTML_Tidy does this, but having a PEAR class to do this would allow
conversion on the fly.
