That something is not news is not an argument of fact per se.

Element-object van easily be called "elements", when they are part of the 
document.

Otherwise you should not say "document", but "document-object".

Elements are not parsed, 
the source-code is parsed and the used browser-engine then constructs 
element[-object]s as it seems fit, depending on the engine and on the 
constraints of the interface (monitor, sound, etc) [size, touchability, 
colours, smartphone, blind-aid touch display, etc]  

Also, Thomas, there can also be elements that start existing minutes after 
the loading has ended, mostly as a result of a user or time-out initiated 
event.
