What is the use of blocks in blocks? Something like this?

<div xmlns:o="inc:layout.stencil">
<o:each>
  <div class="tweet">
    <o:image/>
  </div>
</o:each>
<o:empty>Couldn't find any.</o:empty>
</div>

This would be going all out. I can see tag libraries from where I'm sitting.

<html xmlns:s="stencil" xmlns:t="include:twitter.stencil" xmlns:g="include:grid.stencil">
<body>
<g:grid columns="16" gutter="10" width="30">
  <g:col span="6">
    <t:sidebar>
  </g:col>
  <g:col span="10">
    <t:tweets s:user="user">
      <t:heading><h1>Tweets!</h1><t:heading>
      <t:tweet>
        <div><t:description/></div>
        <div><t:avatar size="thumb"/></div> 
      </t:tweet>
      <t:empty>Sorry. No tweets.</t:empty>
    </t:tweets>
  </g:col>
</g:grid>
</body>
</html>

Do this elements always generate elements are they ever purely control structures that melt away? Can the user override the elements generated? (Makes no sense, because what if it's generating table and you want to make it div. It's probably also generating thead, tr, etc.) Probably both. Tag that is a control collection or tag that is layout.
