You don't mention setting mark-even-if-inactive to nil. Have you tried
this, and if so, what problems still remain with this setting?

This categorisation of the mark as either for navigation or for a region
delimiter, if it happened, would have to be optional. For me, this
"double" use is a plus. For example, quite often I do things like M->,
C-w to kill from point to EOB. At the same time, I have no use for
transient-mark-mode, which I disable.
