I'm confused ...

Vim's jump list is a list of positions. Emacs' mark rings are also
lists of positions. The ordinary mark ring lists positions in the
current buffer, while the global mark ring lists positions in all
buffers.

Every time a command calls `push-mark', it records the present
position in these lists. It is customary for larger movement commands
to record the position before moving point. Both Emacs' standard
commands and those defined by Viper heed this convention.

The present implementation of C-o uses the ordinary mark ring and
corresponds to Emacs' C-u C-<SPC>. A global implementation could use
the global mark ring, corresponding to C-x C-<SPC>.

Where is the conflict/difference?
