Dear list,
I have seen the use of blocks mechanism with and without a start/stop
combination.
It is not clear to me in which cases it is required to also include a
start/stop combination in this mechanism.

the begin/end are used for marking blobs of content (kind of buffers)
that can be mixed in, reused, moved, while start/stop is for structure
so, begin/end is independent
it is an already old mechanism that was made for educational material
where one source had to result in teacher, student, examns, extra, materials
but it's there to stay ...
