Neville,
True. By way of disambiguation, I should clarified have the sense in
which I intended the word "conserving" -- I meant it in the sense
that such an aether does not viscously drag down an option and
finally force it to stop (which was the stated criticism which I was
addressing with that last clause). I meant "conserve" in the sense of
"protect and not impede or harm the ability of an object to undergo"
such motion. Since "conserve" can obviously be taken in another sense
entirely, the ambiguity in the sentence is obviously due to my
poverty of expression.
My apologies
Martin

Martin,
Perhaps the "confusion" was caused by the following comment?
"Objects can travel through it freely without impediment, but the
aether resists acceleration while conserving constant-velocity
rectilinear motion."

I think I'll address this comment, as it appears to stem from a
misunderstanding of a point I made. I said that the Markov-type
aether resists changes in velocity. I didn't say that such aethers
forbid changes in velocity. The constant of proportionality that
determines this resistance to change is well known -- you can see
it in the equation F = ma. The extent to which "their velocities
are constantly changing" satisfies, and does not defy, my
contention. I assumed that I didn't need to explicitly state this
anymore than I already had when I said that the Newtonian dynamics
were preserved. "Uniform rectilinear motion" is, in fact, preserved
"unless acted on by another force," which we can take in the widest
possible sense to include collisions, gravitation, magnetic force,
etc. The point is that the Markov aether does not give rise to any
kinematic predictions that differ from what we currently observe.
In other words, it is fully consistent with observation. There are
no observations that contradict or undermine it, least of all the
circumstance that celestial objects don't exhibit uniform
rectilinear motion.
