well, that's the thing - I am a user, not a computer, I don't care if typing 
keys changes the buffer or not. As a user I expect the undo sequence to 
exactly follow my actions in the reverse order. I just checked - even MS 
Word does this (brings back the highlight in the undo stream).

Too bad emacs' designers did not think about it this way - it wouldn't hurt 
to have this feature even optional if someone finds it objectional.
