The underlying persisted data doesn't necessarily have to be a bag of KV pairs.
A block is related to its parent and descendant blocks.
These relations are suitably represented in a relational database, not a document store.
EDIT: In graph theory, a tree is an undirected, connected and acyclic graph.
You can break out the "block" model into several tables and represent it in a relational database that way.
NoSQL = NO JOIN?
Hope that helps.
