There is no ambiguity -- the docs are incredibly clear.

If you mean consistency, it isn'c clear to me it requires height fields
be centered.  Boxes aren't.  And it is conventional to assign coordinates to raster
images with the origin at a corner.  Either centered or uncentered
would be justified.

And if you want to count characters, just do "translate -0.5" .
You can even assign this to a macro to make your own "keyword".
There's no reason to clutter up the official keyword list.
