Oh, one CAN physically plumb it downstream of the trap - like somebody on the list already said that he saw (in his own house? 'don't remember), but it is "dangerous" to do so. For possible health and other reasons, the DW drain should discharge ABOVE the trap + up loop and/or air gap.

Wilton's suggestion lead me to a blog about DW drains, and according to
this guy, one CANNOT plumb the drain to the downstream of the P-trap.  In
addition, there must be an up-loop or an air-gap fitting between DW and
connection to drain pipe, even if the DW already has an up-loop on the side
of the DW.
