My biggest gripe about transient-mark-mode is that "C-x C-x"
highlights the region.  That is a terrible nuisance for me, since I
use "C-x C-x" A LOT.  It's possible that there are other operations
which cause the highlight and which might annoy others.

How about an option that the region will only become active when
explicitly marked (with a mouse)?
