Cool, I will make all of the above changes, thanks for the notes.

This was a bit of finicky code mostly for aesthetic purposes. It has to
do with this case (the second clause in the test I added):
#+BEGIN_SRC org
This is a paragraph
This is another paragraph
#+END_SRC
If point is on the first paragraph and the region is not active,
`org-mark-element' will mark the paragraph and all following whitespace,
which means we end up with:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
#+BEGIN_FOO
This is a paragraph.
#+END_FOO
This is another paragraph.
#+END_SRC
Which just looked bad to me (even though it probably behaves perfectly
correctly). So if point is at bol, it skips back over the whitespace and
then moves forward one char, presumably leaving point right after the
marked element.
Maybe it should only skip back over newlines (though then indentation
will confuse it). Or maybe I should just not be so picky about
appearances...
