Description

This would be a nice enhancement. For example, in Go the proper way to represent an "" tag would be something like this:

type A struct {
	Class string
	Href string
	Title string
}

However, having all the possible fields of an <a> tag is wasteful, we can do better than this by only including the properties we're going to use.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify unused fields in struct definitions within the codebase, then remove them while ensuring no breaking changes to tests or usage.
