[Tinyos Core WG] Updates to BlockStorage

[Jonathan Hui]

It might make it easier to write a BlockStorage implementation. But it 
was the NAND flash were we thought the changes might be less desirable 
for users of BlockStorage. Unless the NAND flash has support for ECC, 
bad-block mapping, etc. then it could potentially push all of this 
management to the user of BlockStorage. The tep doesn't say anything 
about what kind of data-integrity promises an implementation should 
make. Am I right? or is my perception of NAND flash a little out-dated?
