Seems like there is some confusion in the comments stemming from the distinction between a block as the transactions unified by a block header and a block as a thing that gets passed around from node to node as a unified structure. Seems like both exist in Bitcoin today, and that the latter is unnecessary, not useful, and will disappear in short order.
