Who is to say that the begin is part of the block? (Anyone is free to 
tread it as such, but where is it officially defined?)

Looking at the way it is normally described in english (and being a bit 
picky):
I usually see statements like " A begin starts a new block"
And not like "a begin started a new block"

Then again, if you apply the same analysis to "end", then "end" would 
need to still be indented, while "begin" wasn't....
