Blocks in Drupal 7 are pretty useful but, in practice, larger sites often have requirements that core blocks can't support like placing the same block in different regions for different content types. I’m happy to see core blocks have been improved in Drupal 8 to be much more practical and powerful.
At first blush, SEO and accessibility seem like different problems. However, a deeper look shows that the problem spaces overlap, as do some of the current best practice techniques for dealing with each, and they may come to share more of these in the future.
Corresponding Entity References (CER) is a very useful module if you have two entity references that talk to each other. If you update one entity reference, CER does all the work to make sure the other entity reference reflects that update. It makes it easy to quickly associate entity references without having to edit two entities.
Building a multilingual site in Drupal 7 requires a lot of patience and a lot of special-purpose modules. Checkout my Multilingual Module Madness presentation from DrupalCon Portland if you want to learn more! ;)
