While trying it out I noticed that it introduces behavior which some
users will find unexpected: while the highlighting only happens in the
window where the mark was set, mark-active is non-nil in all windows
displaying that buffer, so the commands will behave according to
"the mark is active" while the user may think "it's not highlighted, so
the mark is not active".

IOW, it's a cute hack, but I don't think it's right.  Sorry.
