With ten minutes of googling I couldn't figure out what virtual nodes
correspond to, in the context of Emacs (modulo the somewhat irrelevant
Info's virtual-nodes), besides them sounding like something vaguely useful
in implementing the feature I had in mind.
Virtual regions (a presentation of something of synthetic nature, which
is not directly backed by a buffer's region) sound exactly like the best
building block I'd imagine for the implementation of the said feature.
I did refer to the concept of 'partial order', a graph-theoretic
structure indeed. I did so to illustrate the difference with the usual
tree, where no branches ever join, so none of them ever share identical
children.
I did not refer to including text in export, I'm more interested in the
editing of the partial order.
