Blocklayout RFC is misleading/ needs another example

For more examples see the Overview to the Blocks module
(Click Overview on 
the Blocks admin section in your site, or read it on
xaraya.com) which also 
has a section called:

"Templating Blocks and Blockgroups.

It says fairly clearly there i think how to create and
override template for 
your blocks.
