Perhaps this is more obvious than I'm realizing, but am I understanding this correctly?

blockName refers to the name of the block in the tree of blocks created for the UI. It doesn't necessarily have to be unique across the entire tree but things seem to behave better if it is.

itsName is the unique name that allows the parcel loader (and the repository?) to identify Items.

A question I have is, is blockName required? Is there an easy way to make blockName just refer to itsName if it isn't specified? As a new developer, I'm finding the syntax to be rather verbose and tedious, it sure would be nice if I could skip things like blockName if it isn't required.
