Well, yes, the result in html or docbook is pretty much the same in
both delimited blocks and those paragraphs "masquerading" as blocks so
its a fair point.

Whats the status of the spec work?

Well, in its implementation, Asciidoc treats paragraphs as a type of
block, the Paragraph class is derived from the AbstractBlock class as
is Delimited Block.  But in the documentation Stuart seems to
distinguish between paragraphs and blocks.  Perhaps its a document
writer rather than a programmer point of view.

Yes, portability recommendation then.
