Details

Wolfram's LocatorBox holds the point; here the binding is Dynamic((p, (x, y))), and there is no domain: the figure it sits in gives the corners.
Its intent is planar: a host without a figure to drag in draws the point's coordinates.
Wolfram's Locator[Dynamic[p]] boxes as RowBox[{"Locator", ...}], with no LocatorBox head of its own to compare.

Examples

Basic #

a box is inert: it evaluates to itself

\mathrm{LocatorBox}(\mathrm{Dynamic}(p))

Out

\mathrm{LocatorBox}(\mathrm{Dynamic}(p))
