In my opinion it is important to behave as other application when it is possible this means that: - The region should be highlighted when active - Using shift arrow keys should not deactivate the region - Using arrow keys without shift should deactivate the region - Something similar for the mouse but I do not know the details since I do not use the mouse for text editing. On the other hand I find it very pratictal that the region stays active for many other commands that moves the point (C-s for example). This is the case for cua-mode today.
