Yes, I prefer 'alternate clear/save' ON and 'clear on playback' OFF.
If someone wants to ignore the bookmark when starting playback, they can
do so via the MENU.  If they want to clear, it's just one extra button
press when they start playback or when they want to set a new bookmark.

One option would be to make the 'alternate' intelligent sort of like
the cutlist editor.  If you hit bookmark w/in X seconds of the existing
bookmark, it clears.  If you're outside of that X-second window, then
the bookmark value is set to the new position.
