I believe that, structurally, >paragraphs can have siblings; that a table or a list can be a sibling >of a paragraph because these elements may relate specifically to that >paragraph. But it appears that the rules of the document tree don't >allow such a relationship. Am I wrong? No. Paragraphs can have siblings, table rows can have siblings, and there is most certainly a tree. However, that relationship is completely separate from the tree of formatting objects produced by applying the transformation represented by a stylesheet to the tree, which is also different from the tree of display areas.
