Well, since the cursor is _not_ visible for someone looking the screen,
I imagine its position does not matter so much.

Of course, the notion of "interesting" information depends on the user,
and the precise way he/she wants information to be displayed is also
highly influenced by the size of the braille display and personal
tastes.
However, my guess is that a cursor at the beginning of lines will be
more suitable for a majority of blind users, since it implies to go
forward to see the rest of the information on this line, whereas one
would have to read backward with a cursor at the end of line, which is
less natural.
