I've just added the following comment to ticket 2507349, and am now 
proceeding apace to implement it. Always time to revert it if you really 
  don't like it, but I think this is now pretty non-controversial.

-----------

Reviewing this, it is clearly intended only as a list of suggestions to
indicate how the attribute should be used. As such it should not aim to 
be too delicate, nor cater for every possibility: users will want to
specialise it to their own requirements. Consequently, I propose to
simplify the list considerably.

On the left is the original: on the right, the suggested value now
proposed.

infralinear  -> below
margin-bot   -> page-foot -> bottom
margin-left  -> left      -> margin
margin-right -> right     -> margin
margin-top   -> page-top  -> top
opposite     -> opposite
overleaf     -> overleaf
supralinear  -> above
verso        -> [remove: same as overleaf, sometimes]
app          -> [remove: this is not a place]
end          -> end
foot         -> [remove: same as bottom]
inline       -> inline
interlinear  -> [remove: the note *must* be either below or above the
point in the text where it appears ]
inline       -> [inspace]
mixed        -> [remove: the attribute permits multiple values]
