Mn... I've never had that problem. e.g. .net framework uses the term
"managed code" to mean the code that's garbage-collected by the framework
and "unmanaged code" to mean the code that manually manage memory among

That's true, but many web authors aren't going to be familiar with
.NET, or any non-garbage-collected language. "Managed" definitely
sounds ambiguous to me, and I've been exposed to more
non-garbage-collected code than most web authors.
I agree with Aryeh. Also, note that the term "managed code" means more
than just the memory being garbage collected.
Mn... Jonas requested that I add separate method on undoManager for manual
and managed transactions so I'd rather not name one of them
userAgentTransact since the term "user agent" doesn't seem to be popular
outside of standard bodies.
I agree that "user agent" is a very standards-y term. Maybe
"browser-managed transaction" and "script-managed transaction"?
Isn't the main difference between the two transactions the fact that the
browser knows how to undo/redo "managed" transactions, whereas the
author explicitly specifies how to undo/redo "manual" transactions? In
this case, why wouldn't we go with a terminology like "automatic"/"manual"?
