  Please do not turn transient-mark-mode on by default. It would make
  daily editing far too distracting. Like animated GIFs in web pages.

  There are times when turning on transient-mark-mode is useful.
  Turning it on in these times should be a conscious and well thought
  out design decision of the user interface.
