appendChild is changing the owner of the child node and making it the
last child of the parent. Therefore it will have no siblings after it.
You could clone the node and append the clone (if a copy is desired)
or compute the sibling BEFORE performing the append [which is what your
workaround is doing altho a cleaner approach can be done]
