How so?  Just moving the cursor because of a C-f involves a lot more X calls 
that taking ownership of the PRIMARY selection.  I don't understand how 
robustness is affected.

If you want you can add lisp events that announce if the selection is 
non-empty and when it is empty and do things from lisp.
