It may not be placing anything anywhere but it itself has to be placed
somewhere and if it is not inside a block there is no place for it to go.
All that happens with child templates is that the defined blocks are
substituted into the parent template to over-ride whatever may have been
specified there. Then the ultimate parent template, after all over-ridden
blocks have been substituted, is rendered. (I do not know if that is
exactly how it is implemented, but that is how it works conceptually.)
Anything outside of a {% block %} in a child template has no place to go in
the ultimately rendered template.
You seem to have left out of your options the choice of putting the {% with
%} block in the parent template? Or passing your variables in the context
with the names you'd like to use in the template blocks?
