+/** Wserv access to render stage Text Cursor implementation.
+
+This interface allows delegation of Text Cursor drawing to the Render
+Stage.  It must not to be confused with Custom Text Cursor drawing;
+@see RWsSession::SetCustomTextCursor
+
+Historically, Text cursors have often been implemented using XOR
+drawing, because it is a cheap way to deliver a high-contrast cursor
+in certain system architectures where Operating System access to
+Graphics Device Memory is possible.
+
+XOR drawing can be problematic for some Render Stages.  This is because
+the XOR operation requires a read back followed by a write.  This would
+stall a graphics accelerator hardware implementation.
+
+In a render stage setting, the Text Cursor may not be the top-most
+window as a transition effect can slide a semi-transparent window over
+the top of the Text Cursor window.  This means the cursor cannot be XOR
+drawn last after all other windows; the read-back cost cannot be hidden
+at the end of drawing each frame.
+
+The Display Render Stage, responsible for interacting with hardware,
+can offer XOR drawing in some cases, for example Software Bit GDI,
+and not in others, for example OpenVG back-end hardware.
+
+This interface allows a render stage to implement Text Cursors
+appropriately given the Display Render Stage which is present.
+
+This interface uses the supplied Text Cursor Color as a hint only.
+TextCursor colors are better regarded as constrast level indicators
+where KRgbWhite means a high contrast text cursor, and KRgbBlack
+means an invisible text cursor.
+
+Suggested strategies:
+<ol>
+<li>
+XOR drawing is available.  Just XOR draw the cursor each time in
+the supplied color.  This corresponds to legacy non-Render Stage
+behaviour.
+</li>
+<li>
+No XOR drawing is available.  Draw a black box (solid or hollow
+as appropriate).  Ensure that the UI Toolkit which provides the
+platform's default text entry control has a compatible theme so
+that black is an appropriate high-contrast color.
+</li>
+</ol>
