I thought about that too; your choice seems fine to me.

The refactored directive looks fine.  So far it's just moving the code
out of a "directive" function into the Directive.run method, and
adding "self." as appropriate, right?

The modified docutils.rst.states.Body.parse_directive_block doesn't
support the new required_arguments, optional_arguments, &
final_argument_whitespace attributes yet though.  I'm sure you would
have discovered this quickly ;-)
