In the meantime, you might find these two macros useful:

markPosition inserts a processing instruction called "placemarker" at 
the cursor position.
findMarkedPosition finds it again (you have to expicitly delete it when 
you are finished with it).

  <command name="markPosition">
    <macro>
      <sequence>
        <choice>
          <sequence>
            <command name="insertNode" parameter="piInto placemarker" />
          </sequence>
          <sequence>
            <command name="insertNode" parameter="piBefore placemarker" />
          </sequence>
        </choice>
        <command name="insertString" parameter="PlaceMarker" />
      </sequence>
    </macro>
  </command>
 
  <command name="findMarkedPosition">
    <macro>
      <sequence>
        <set expression="//processing-instruction('placemarker')" 
variable="selectedNode"/>
      </sequence>
    </macro>
  </command>
