Interop audit, 2026-10-24.

Marks ignore the person's default mark type. NeoKOM's "Spara" marks every text with type 100 (main_view/mod.rs, kom.mark(t, 100)). The common block has default-mark ("The default mark to set on marked texts", Protocol-A.texi), which the Emacs client sets and uses. People who sort their marks by type in Emacs find NeoKOM's marks under 100, not under their own type.

Options:

Use default-mark when set, else 100 (least surprise).
Also let the user pick a type when saving (the Emacs client asks).
Leave it.

Also to decide: whether "Sparade" lists marks of every type, or only ours.

Interop audit, 2026-10-24. **Marks ignore the person's default mark type.** NeoKOM's "Spara" marks every text with type 100 (`main_view/mod.rs`, `kom.mark(t, 100)`). The `common` block has `default-mark` ("The default mark to set on marked texts", `Protocol-A.texi`), which the Emacs client sets and uses. People who sort their marks by type in Emacs find NeoKOM's marks under 100, not under their own type. Options: 1. **Use `default-mark` when set**, else 100 (least surprise). 2. Also let the user pick a type when saving (the Emacs client asks). 3. Leave it. Also to decide: whether "Sparade" lists marks of every type, or only ours.

We'll leave it as is for now. If it becomes an issue win the future we will return to it.
