Please look up 'web design mockup' in Google and check how it is used. 

Furthermore if I were to create a mockup that was built using HTML, what
would it be a mockup of?

Please can we leave this tautological farce at this point. If you need
to reply further please do it to me directly, otherwise I will presume
you are carrying on for the sake of everyone else on comp.lang.python
and I have a feeling that isn't really what they want.

Ps I presume you meant "exact words that lead to misunderstanding" and
"inexact words that do not"

Pps Are the words object and image really clearer than the word. The
word object means a a material thing. Material can mean information. So
we get an information thing. Image means the optical appearance of
something. 
So a HTML page creates an Image. As Does a jpg. An object means a thing.
Are we really getting clarity. My word "mockup" did not cause the
unfulfilled expectations, it was the jumping to conclusions that a .html
page meant it must be a finished item.
