I'm in the process of doing this, Eliot, but I'm trying to think of a 
situation where you'd be bordering your blocks and not using something like 
a bordered table.

I'm assuming you are dealing with multi-line paragraph-like blocks and not 
small blocks like figure captions, since you don't get a page-break for a 
single-line block.

Can you share a use-case scenario where users will want to border their blocks?

Thanks for all your suggestions!

............. Ken
