We would keep the ability to press a single key and have it 
respond instantly -- obviously that's an important part of the 
current user experience.

I was merely proposing that `C-x o' also work, so that the user 
has a familiar way to break temporarily out of the "next keypress 
is responded to instantly" mode and go do something in the window 
that is currently displaying the information on which the rmc 
prompt's question is based.

(The user already could do this by entering a recursive edit, but 
that way is much less familiar to many users than `C-x o' is.)

Making `C-x o' work does not imply breaking any of the current rmc 
behavior, unless there's something that I'm missing.
