What do we conclude from the discussion related to this?

My understanding is that we were going to have visual navigation  
(arrow keys, C-n, C-p) default to on, and leave default behavior of C- 
a and C-e as is, with some code (from the visual-line-mode that I  
posted) to optionally remap C-a and C-e to visual navigation as it is  
sensible in text modes.

Should this be one minor mode that defaults to on, or should we have  
two minor modes then?
Also, should C-a and C-e default to the visual mode in all text modes?  
(Would that just go in text-mode-hook?)
