Yes, that's exactly the current design. Hidden a bit:

This still leaves the potential hazard of someone doing `new HTMLUnknownElement("somename")` and their code breaking later once "someone" becomes a real tag... hopefully the "Unknown" is a bit more of a deterrent though?

(It'd be nice if HTMLElement weren't a global and you had to do `import HTMLElement from "html/parser-internals"` or something. Ah well.)
