I propose to use an <text:view-mark> here that can occur within <text:p> and <text:h> elements. <text:view-mark> has a single attribute "text:id" that takes the unique id of the mark. <text:view-mark> simply marks a text position so that it is referencable from somewhere else within a file. The element has to be ignored if such a reference does not exists.

Each of the map entries supports the string properties "ViewId" and "CursorPosition". "ViewId" contains the name of the view. It allows applications to specify additional properties for the same view within other config item sets. "CursorPosition" contains the id of a <text:view-mark> element within the content.

Since the cursor can be almost anywhere in a document, the text:view-pos
element would need to be allowed anywhere by the schema in use.  I know
XML DTD's don't allow inclusions.  Do XML Schemas and/or RelaxNG?  If
we can't represent the allowable location of text:view-pos via a DTD,
do we care?

If we do, then I don't see how we can use an element to represent the
cursor position.  (Arbortext's Epic uses processing instructions to 
represent the cursor position and other view-related information.)
