This seems like a really cool plan. (Although of course ES6 modules would be better, but, no need to hold up the platform waiting for them... namespaces are fine in the meantime.)

I guess it would not be a constructor in that case though, i.e. you'd do `var myH1 = HTML.h1()` instead of `var myH1 = new HTML.h1()`, since otherwise you would break the `new X instanceof X` invariant.
