Open a buffer, do C-x 2. Now move point in one of the windows. Now
you see that you have the same buffer in two windows, with two
different values of point.
It is not enough to have a point in each window: what happens if you
insert text at point in a buffer which is not displayed in a window?
Therefore, each buffer also has point.
XEmacs makes sure that buffer's point is always the same as the
current window's point. (This means C-x o in the example above will
move buffer's point.)
Whee. Thanks for bringing this up. It wasn't clear to me before.
But it seems logical.
