25.0.50; Doc for `transient-mark-mode' should say that highlighting is with face `region' |

Please update the doc string, the Emacs manual, node `Disabled Transient
Mark', and the Elisp manual, node `The Mark'.
While you're at it, please so likewise for the Elisp manual node `The
Region'. (At least Emacs manual node `Mark' mentions it.)
It is not obvious to users which face they can customize to change the
`transient-mark-mode' highlighting.
This thread is one indication of the need for this improvement:

I thought about that, but when I looked at the corresponding nodes, it
didn't look useful: the nodes are very large, and a single sentence
will get lost there.

The region is mentioned. In any case, I presume a user who wants to
find the face will simply go to "Standard Faces".

Done.
