Description

This would be a nice enhancement. For example, in Go the proper way to represent an "" tag would be something like this:

type A struct {
	Class string
	Href string
	Title string
}

However, having all the possible fields of an <a> tag is wasteful, we can do better than this by only including the properties we're going to use.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the compiler code that represents HTML tags as Go structs, then determine how to include only properties used by each tag; done means unused struct values are no longer generated while the existing tag representation remains valid.
