 *
 * THtmlElement represents a generic HTML element whose tag name is specified
 * via {@link setTagName TagName} property. Because THtmlElement extends from
 * {@link TWebControl}, it enjoys all its functionalities.
 *
 * To change the default tag your subclass should override {@link getDefaultTag}
