Do we mean: Threads can block (e.g. in the kernel) independently of
the execution of other threads in the same process?

The resources shared among threads in the same process should be
configurable. The file descriptors, resource limits, credentials,
address space, and so forth should be shared, unless otherwise
specified at the time of the creation of the thread. Um, of course it
doesn't make a whole lot of sense to NOT share the address space :-)
