The mark  could be rendered  in  a  different color by creating a zone
with a distinct  background color.  I'm currently creating such a zone
for  the region (point  to mark).  Although simply coloring mark would
require  one to worry  about changes to mark only, which seems simpler
but is still beyond me,  the  result would be less desirale.  Any time
mark were not within the window one might wonder where  it was,  or if
it were nil.
