getParagraph() does not work on tables

[Harbs]

There's a (silly?) assumption that one can always get a paragraph from a leaf. One such example is in SplitParagraphOperation, but there appears to be such an assumption in many places.

This does not work when it comes to tables.

The two ways I see of dealing with this are:

1. Change that assumption in lots of places. (daunting job)
2. Require TableElement to be a child of ParagraphElement. This would allow returning the parent paragraph of the table.

I do not see any obvious problems with the second approach.

What happens in the case of DivElements? I've seen them as the root of
TextFlow.

DivElements are "virtual" elements. Their only purpose is to apply formatting to a section of text (i.e. a bunch of paragraphs)
