I have to say that nothing so far indicates that your proposed
"tentative mark" would differ from the current behavior of "transient
marks". Instead, you express your surprise that "transient marks"
behave like you would consider proper for "tentative marks".
It's not even a reinvention, but a renaming of the wheel that you are
apparently calling for, and I have yet to see the difference you are
aiming for from the current behavior.
