Why not use GeoRest?  You can point georest to the layer you want to edit. 
Expose the XML - 

restcfg.xml

<Resource uripart="pti_23032"> 
<Source type="MapGuide">    
<FeatureSource>Library://Data/pti_23032.FeatureSource</FeatureSource>    
<FeatureClass>SHP_Schema:pti_23032</FeatureClass>    
<ServerIp>127.0.0.0</ServerIp>       
<ServerPort>2812</ServerPort> 
</Source>    
<Representation renderer="XML" pattern=".xml">
<Method name="GET"  />
<Method name="PUT"  />
<Method name="POST"  />
<Method name="DELETE"  />
</Representation>
</Resource>


Then you can draw or edit the Points in the XML - you will have to create
this bit...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
   <FeatureSet>
   <Features>   
 <Feature>  
 <Property>     
<Name>Geometry</Name>      
<Value>      POINT (-87.750602148149582 43.772512943108723)</Value>
   </Property>
   </Feature>
  </Features>
 </FeatureSet>



Use a POST to the data to update the XML point.


xmlhttp.open("POST",'http://localhost/georest/rest/data/pti_23032/.xml',true);     
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/xml; charset=UTF-8");     
xmlhttp.send(xml);
