I would like to create a page (in Drupal) that contains some "content" stuff (preferably managed by Drupal) and a CiviCRM contribution form.
It seems nicer for a CMS user if the page is a Drupal page node with Civi stuff embedded, instead of a Civi page with Drupal stuff embedded.

Lobo mentioned on irc this might be possible, but not recommended.

All I need to know is, given a contribution page id, how I can ask Civi (in code) to render the form as a block, as opposed to a full page.
And then, where the caveat is at, what could go wrong. Maybe the submit will have a problem?

I am willing to publish my solution on github or drupal.org, if I manage to make it work.

why does it seems nicer to you?

building a contribute page is already about assembling lots of smaller bits (profile, price set...) adding one extra small bit coming from drupal would seem rather natural.

Have you looked at webform_civicrm integration? That module can do exactly that - embed a contribution form within a drupal form. And you can stick it in a block if you want.

@Coleman: Thanks! Have not looked into it yet, but will (probably).

Some interesting stuff to look at:
https://drupal.org/project/civicrm_reference_fields a Drupal module to define a field to reference CiviCRM stuff.
https://drupal.org/node/1690118 suggests to introduce a formatter for this field that would embed the form.

coleman - isn't that option still limited to payment processors that occur on the civi page rather than those that handle it off-site?

Yes that's true.
