You want something like

<xsl:template match="side-effects">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="paragraph | common"/>
</

<xsl:template match="paragraph">
...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="common">
<table>
  <tr>
  <td><xsl:apply-templates/></td>
  <td><xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::less-common[1]/*"/></td>
  <td><xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::rare[1]/*"/></td>
  </tr>
</table>
