- If the Block Manager handles the security policy for each block, defaulted to a very tight sandbox, it is the block deployer who will ultimately decide the access. The Block documentation contains the "Required Permissions", which can then be scrutinized by the block deployer and granted or not.

- "Block" has a connotation of "lump" -- these things are "active" and should have an "active" name. See ["Block" @ thesaurus.com|http://www.thesaurus.com/cgi-bin/search?config=roget&words=block], compared to for instance ["Engine"|http://www.thesaurus.com/cgi-bin/search?config=roget&words=engine]. I realise that "Block" has a meaning in electronics but it has other connotations in everyday English that are undesirable IMHO.

+ In electronics "block" is not really used. The smallest building blocks (hmm?) are called "components", which may be assembled to "modules", which may be used in "subsystems". I think ASIC designers uses "Block" at silicon level though.
