Unlike Bookmarks (which get included into the current document or saved out to
ODF) Reminders are a simple edit cursor positions temporary and relevant only
to the current edit session.

Use case is that the Reminders represent a navigable stack of positions within
an open document that can be traversed using the Navigator. If the 'Navigate
by' selection is 'Reminder', edit cursor movement on the canvas is only within
that stack of Reminders. But if in 'Recency' mode, the navigation includes the
Reminder stack but also positions of other edit actions as well.

So user placement of a Reminder is a very efficient method to hold once place
within a document while it is open for review or edit. With a default stack of
5 Reminders (though it would be nice to be able for user to decrease or
increase the count), the Navigate by Reminder mode avoids need for scrolling or
pgUp/pgDd movement to return to specific location in a document. To be useful
they don't need to be visible or show on the Navigator deck, they just need to
be reliable to navigate with--the repositioned document view port is sufficient
indicator and feedback.

Their undesired inclusion in copy/paste of a text span screws up the stack and
makes them less reliable to use.
