For what it's worth, I think that it would be a good idea to limit this
feature to mouse-based scrolling. That's what I've been doing in my own
Elisp emulation of this kind of thing [1].
I agree with Alan that, if you primarily use the keyboard for scrolling,
it is very jarring if editing/movement commands bring the window view
back to the original position.
But the mouse provdides an easy way of overriding the original position
(by left-clicking on a new position).
