I don't agree with adding qname parameter to every element. There is no reason
to ever construct HTMLHtmlElement if other tag name than <html>. We lose
self-documenting nature of code like this:

    RefPtr<HTMLTableCaptionElement> caption = new
HTMLTableCaptionElement(document());

vs.

   RefPtr<HTMLTableSectionElement> newBody = new
HTMLTableSectionElement(tbodyTag, document());

where we can immeditealy see that HTMLTableSectionElement can represent
multiple tags while HTMLTableCaptionElement can not.

Surely you it would be better to make your autogeneration script slightly
smarter rather than losing this architectural feature?
