Sure getting rid of either the protection mask _or_ the difference between 
read, write and read/write selections is fine with me. Moving the selected 
pixels to another layer in the transform tool or similar is fine with me too. 
If, Especially, and only, the selection on the original layer is kept intact. 
That is, if I rotate a selection and the rotated pixels arrive on another 
layer, I want to be able to go back and delete the original pixels.
