WAHtmlCanvas once had code that would automatically generated the code
of all the tag generation methods for you. One rule that has emerged
is to use a the full name instead of the real element name: #anchor
instead of #a

In WARenderCanvas? Yes, if we had better traits tools we would use them.

You'll probably end up duplicating the funtionality of WARenderCanvas.

Can we see the code? ;-)
