I suspect that Richard heavily uses marks to navigate, whereas
I only use
them to select a piece of text. The fact that both of them use C-SPC is
probably the source of the problem. I suspect that he'd find
transient-mark-mode much less aggravating if C-SPC didn't
activate the mark
(and he'd probably also want to set mark-even-if-inactive to t).
Now this is getting interesting - this is something to look into later. It
might be that we can tweak the design so everyone is satisfied. But we
should not discuss this now: it's clear that this is not going to change for
this release.
