I can think of one way this could potentially work is by checking if the
mark was made when window was active so making the mark "window-aware"?
I.e., if two windows A and B show the same buffer and the user typed
C-SPC when in window A, then the region would not show up in window B.
Does this make sense?  But I'm not sure if this heuristic will work at
all times as it bends the notion of "active region" way too much.

I have no problems closing this but I will let the others speak before I
do.
