and elements are this document.
But it is not standard HTML Elements, so I have a confusion about that.
Does anyone know about that elements history or something?
If not, I change those examples with standard HTML.

Good question.
I’ve never seen them before, never heard of them before, and did not find any reference to them in W3C documentation.
Yet, when I pasted the fragment into the validator (as HTML5 - experimental), the elements weren’t found to be errors.
And the semantics seem odd to me. Not the <scroll-container> so much. But the <scroll-page> children don’t seem like “pages” to me.
I have a suspicion that this isn’t an actual element, but is meant to suggest “any element that is a valid scroll container”.

I think you’re right. We can of course use any element on a page, even if they are unrecognised, in which case they just get treated as anonymous inline elements.
I think in this case it would make more sense if the example used semantic elements, say a <section> and some <articles>, but then we added a note to say that this could work with any element that is a valid scroll container.
Agreed. I don’t like the idea of using fake elements in examples, even ones that aren’t meant to actually be run or rendered.
