Review Comment:
I don't believe we can do this restriction.
To summarize
https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/pull/276#discussion_r1705948690
Standard browser behaviour allows click on all tags. Cordova cannot
reasonably block or whitelist specific tags. There's some frameworks that is
widely use that even allows users to use custom tags.
So I think the `allowedElements` check needs to be removed.
