The important step I think here is that the developer not used the initial HTML prototype as a template when building the application. He just looked at it and produced code that output code who have a similar visual appearance but probably with different HTML structure who work well with the code.

If the code was written just to fill some holes in the original prototype, basically replacing some hard-coded strings, the developer would have less liberty on how to code lending to something less efficient and less elegant.
