Well, "tag name" is the most common term used in most DOM libraries (including Java, Python, Javascript and PHP). I guess it's technically incorrect, but it's not exactly unusual. You're also the first person to raise this issue :)
That said, "element name" seems the more correct term, so it seems reasonable to change it for Hiccup 1.0.

Yes, the DOM design has a lot to answer for! It's surely the source of much of the confusion in libraries, since it consistently refers to 'elements' (rather than tags), but says they have 'tagNames', which is... grrr.
If I recall correctly, the DOM interface was solidified while HTML was still rather ad-hoc. Writing HTML for the browser is still a bit Wild West, but it's not the only target for which one wants to produce XML, so I feel that precision/correctness should win here. (those who aren't aware of the difference probably aren't going to notice the change anyway)

...and, I meant to add, thanks for looking at this!
