[Romulus]

Don't know if you saw this comment on the Zadok the Roman blog:

"At the end of the Mass the Holy Father stayed on a little longer after all the other bishops had left the sanctuary to wave to the crowd. He walked around a little (to the consternation of his security detail) and it was very interesting to see Marini take his orders from Mons. Georg Ganswein (known as Monsignore Georg about the city) the Pope's Private Secretary."

No, I didn't see the blog posting, but I did see Benedict XVI remain in the sanctuary a little longer and go over to one side to wave to the crowd. I didn't catch the part about Marini taking orders from Msgr. Ganswein.

I am of the opinion that the inclusion of Aquinas' Latin sequence in the Mass (in Rome, I don't know if it was included in Bari) was definitely the Pope's decision and not Marini's.
