I added a block diagram view of the software stack, also shown below.
It's not the prettiest of diagrams but I hope it's a fair representation
of the Sugar stack using the taxonomy suggested by Ben.

The only issue I have is with the OS/Ribose layer, as I would prefer to
see a platform independent Sugar stack (and the current definition of
Ribose ties the OS and Bootstrap to the XO).
