For the record, in vim, undo also undoes text selection.

I'm getting that impression :) Not that this is a big deal, but most 
apps I use seem to break it down along command vs. setting line, not 
content vs. representation of content. That said a command vs. setting 
undo is a little more difficult line to walk with TextMate than a lot 
of other apps.
