 Neither to your ignorance or lack of interest in ergonomics
 concerns. beginning-of-buffer and end-of-buffer are commands to move
 in the buffer. The other commands like next-line previous-line and
 even BEGINNING-OF-line and END-OF-line preserve the mark, but not
 those 2 ones. I admit that a different behavior might be usefull in
 the case of long moves, but I don't think this should be the
 default. 
Didier, do you propose that beginning/end-of-buffer not push the mark
only when the region is active, or all the time?  If the former, I'm
with you.  If the latter, I'm not -- when the region is unactive, the
mark-pushing behaviour is quite useful.
