Sorry, haven't followed this thread.

But just seeing that (out of context), I wonder
what is meant by it.  Isn't there a better way to
describe/name whatever behavior is meant by CUA
without C-x/C-c/C-v?  Those keys are what most
people think of when they think of CUA, no?

How about some positive description, instead of
this?  This seems a little like taking a walk
without walking.
