By way of clarification -- there's a reason that you need to take this approach.
{% block %} tags are the one and only example of precedence rules in
Django's template language. Blocks are evaluated before every other
tag, because they involve the gross structure of the template itself.
You can't have a "conditional block", because the conditional tags
aren't evaluated until after the block is evaluated.
