FWIW, I also don't like the term "block" and "inline" when referring 
to markup at a beginning level.  I much prefer terms that 
non-HTML-aware authors would use, not the terms that HTML authors 
are used to.

I think the EditGettingStarted page itself looks great, although 
I'm not sure about the name.  I don't have a good alternative at the
moment.
