Did you consider inserting/inlining a character or image which looks 
to the user like a cursor?  It should be possible to place a character
(marked up and CSSed) exactly where the next input-character would be.

Very good!  Right now, it's a tad hard to test silva/BXE problems because
i can't really reproduce the problems on the "example"-BXE cvs-version. 
I really want to have simple editing (with simple xml) working before
diving into more complex stuff.  Otherwise i guess it would be a
months-long fight for getting reasonable stability (in the eye of
the user).  

regards and have fun in hotel california,
