I'm not going to discuss the ins and outs of this, but I'd like to
point out that zmacs-regions and shifted-motion-keys-select-region
have been t by default in Windows builds of XEmacs for about ten
years, and I've *never* heard a Windows user complain about the region
doing the wrong thing. ("zmacs-regions" is the Lucid equivalent of
t-m-m, and s-m-k-s-r is what it says.)
XEmacs implements the "active flag for top of mark stack" model.
If you want to do something subtler, Tom, I think a sample
implementation really needs to be provided and exercised thoroughly,
because the t-m-m model just plain ain't broke in best current
practice.
