Doing some research into my use case of how to let content creators add blocks to their pages, I discovered two modules that might be considered bridge modules -- Multiblock and Block Reference. They both embed block administration into the node editing form, and while neither do exactly the job I'm looking for, they are both a move toward the in situ block creation that I described in my earlier post.
Nice analysis -- your idea of UI bridging is a sensible approach to improving Drupal's usability for specific user groups.

Potential bridge modules
Hi Michael,
Doing some research into my use case of how to let content creators add blocks to their pages, I discovered two modules that might be considered bridge modules -- Multiblock and Block Reference. They both embed block administration into the node editing form, and while neither do exactly the job I'm looking for, they are both a move toward the in situ block creation that I described in my earlier post.
