I definitely agree. I was overly accepting when saying that "I'm OK with
[block level APIs]". What I meant to say is that I'm OK with exploring
that. But I don't think the result would make authors happy.

I agree move() definitely needs to stay. I think the other ones I listed in
the open questions section should be debated. That was why I started this
thread.

I'm also very interested to hear from Allen why he thinks that this API
couldn't be used across other ES environments. If we can fix it that would
be great. As long as the API remains good for the web.
