org would have to push to both local and global it seems.  sounds good to me.

note also that for single buffers there is marker-visit.el.

also this from se could be modified to work for global mark ring --
every ring in emacs should have both next and prev.  i never
understood the point of rings in emacs except to save memory.

(defun se-unpop-to-mark-command ()
  "Unpop off mark ring. Does nothing if mark ring is empty."
  (interactive)
  (when mark-ring
    (setq mark-ring (cons (copy-marker (mark-marker)) mark-ring))
    (set-marker (mark-marker) (car (last mark-ring)) (current-buffer))
    (when (null (mark t)) (ding))
    (setq mark-ring (nbutlast mark-ring))
    (goto-char (marker-position (car (last mark-ring))))))
