There are of course many cases where the syntax differs, but only I said
that they are similar, not identical ;) Especially the linking differs
from my syntax.

No, (currently) blocks cannot be nested.
Blocks are separated by >=1 newlines and consist of only one type of the
ones listed in
http://gedankenkonstrukt.de/konstrukt/syntax.html#BLOCK_SYNTAX. I only
