Yes, but that's just part of it.
Each tag/element is  put in the tree in its correct position,
and also put in the list.
It is linked in two places.
That's how it works when produced by html.
<form> creates a form object, which is somewhere in the dom tree,
and *also* in the list of forms.
I guessed, not much more than a guess, that that is how it works
for elements created dynamically.
An element e is placed somewhere in dom, as directed by javascrtip,
and also put on the list of said elements,
that part perhaps happening automatically.
So I made the second part happen automatically, again being just a guess.
Maybe the only way to know if my guess is right is to write some javascrtip,
createElement,
and alert document.list.length, and run it in a commercial browser
and see what it says.
We may be doing more and more of this;
it's just hard to find descriptions of how this stuff really works
on the internet.
