If that is the case, it's indeed not too awful: users will be able to
figure it out.  I thought that perhaps there are dire technical
problems.

You've just described it: suppose the cursor is on X, what is the
current value of point?  Or say we start marking text from Z by
dragging a mouse to the right--what should happen when we get to 1?
For that matter, why did you choose to put the point positions as

>  Z Y X 1 2 3 C B A
> 3 2 1 4 5 6 9 8 7 0

and not as

>  Z Y X 1 2 3 C B A
> 4 3 2 1 5 6 0 9 8 7

(which clearly shows the problem)?  When point's position is 2 it is
between X and Y, so 2 should be to the left of X as displayed, no?
