Hi Dominik,

Thank you for your feedback.
In particular AbstractBlock was the one that Dan was not really comfortable with.
But it's actually taken from the class names in Ruby :).

What's actuall missing in my first mail is the hierarchy of the interfaces.
It's currently

AbstractNode
  +- AbstractBlock
  |   +- Block
  |   +- Section
  |   +- DocumentRuby
  |   +- ListNode
  |   +- ListItem
  +- Inline

So the current motivation for `Abstract` was that these interfaces are ony implemented by abstract classes.
After renaming AbstractNode to Node, BlockNode would be a good match.
This would result in this hierarchy of interfaces:

Node
  +- BlockNode
  |   +- Block
  |   +- Section
  |   +- Document
  |   +- List
  |   +- ListItem
  +- Inline

What do you think?

Best regards
Robert
