The block-subspace dichotomy and classification conjecture

Let XX be a Banach space with an unconditional basis. A block-subspace is a closed subspace generated by a block-sequence of that basis, and E0E_0 is the equivalence relation of eventual equality on 2N2^{\mathbb N}. The block-subspace dichotomy and classification conjecture. Is it true that either XX is isomorphic to each of its block-subspaces or E0E_0 is Borel reducible to isomorphism between the block-subspaces of XX? Is it true that if XX is isomorphic to its block-subspaces then XX is isomorphic to c0c_0 or p\ell_p? Are these assertions true when block-subspaces are replaced by subspaces supported by disjointly supported blocks?

The question is motivated by the homogeneity of c0c_0 and p\ell_p and by the fact that many results about ergodicity can be formulated using block-subspaces. It asks both for a dichotomy in descriptive complexity and for a classification of spaces homogeneous under block-subspace formation.
