Why are HTML tags declared as strings?

[codethief]

Forgive my ignorance but why does the example from the README

// example.tsx
import * as elements from 'typed-html';

const w = 'world';
const helloWorld = <p>Hello <strong>{w}</strong></p>;

typeof helloWorld; // => Just a string of course

yield a string? Wouldn't it make more sense for helloWorld to be of type HTMLElement, so that

1. it can be easily appended to existing DOM elements?
2. everything's type-safe and one could do introspection on those HTMLElements?

I'm also curious about this
