I haven't been tracking the development lately but I do not think the  
situation has changed.

Pop-tag-mark is a simple and good model I think, and I think it would be  
good to integrate it properly into CEDET. Right now it lives in the etags  
library, which would be nice not to depend on, but no big deal I guess.  
The relevant parts could also readily be copied to CEDET.

I also tried making use of the global mark ring but I recall I had issues  
with it in that it behaved differently depending on whether you jumped  
 from another file or within the same one. Perhaps I was using it wrong  
though.

Mru-bookmark-mode, while useful, works differently in that in keeps track  
of tags, not buffer positions. So when jumping to a tag in it, it will  
always take you to the beginning of the tag. I was under the impression  
that its entries were ordered by last visit (making the previously viewed  
tag the default choice), but perhaps this is not so. That should be easy  
to change though.
