hmmm - I am not sure if there is a cursor type for this (jaredn/lucidddream?) - but good point, I am not sure I have noticed them flashing.

I guess one way is to continually focus/blur on a delay, but only until someone starts typing - Once letters are deteced in the box you want to clear the timeOut and stop flashing - now I'm thinking there must be a cursor!
