On the other hand, all the Protovis declaration could be static for each kind of graphic that is generated by Mondrian. That is because in Protovis only a "mark" is specified for each kind of data. Anyway, I have to take a closer look of it.

For example, the html file is going to be generated after a selection of a button called "generate html5". After this we may make a generalization.
