You want to autogenerate that? That could become quite huge (And 
probably most would be discarded later anyway of you want all 
permutations of elements and attributes)

We just start with the trivial things and then look at the specific 
structures. We get either relative simple html like xml or we get quite 
complex educational markup, with quite demanding rendering and multiple 
products. The good news is that the number of elements is always limited 
(analyzing would not really work well because it can be that thousands 
of files need to be loaded and merged which itself is not a problem, but 
one then always need to interpret what needs to get loaded).
