re: "Never thought the first-last names would be a requirement to position a
cursor. What is the logic behind?"

The idea, IIRC, is that because the metadata of where the last editor's
position in the document was when they changed it is saved into the document,
then it should only be restored as the default position on reopen for *that*
author. So that the person you might send it to doesn't open the document at
your position, but at their default position, i.e. the top. 

I guess people with common names, e.g. John Smith live in a world of "documents
I never saw before open in real strange places"
