Given that, under the proposed change, a "block" is anything that is not 
the plain lead of a method, *both* A and B would be "blocks". As, indeed, 
would be the plain course of Plain B Minor, or two leads of Grandsire, or 
...

And, contrary to what Don claims, A is not a "method" now (at least, not 
as defined in (E)A.1, which requires truth in the plain course). So it 
can't be rung to a peal.
