Re: Why not Node.insertAfter()?

node.insertAfter(newKid,refChild), if it existed, would be precisely
equivalent to node.insertBefore(newKid,refChild.getNextSibling()).
Note that inserting before null means inserting at the end of the list, so
the Right Thing should happen even in that case. Also note that a
shorthand in that case is node.appendChild(newKid).
So insertAfter might be convenient, but isn't strictly necessary. Which is
why we left it out of Level 1.
