To clear up some more misunderstanding: I'm actually agreeing to just use "line" and "position" to name the concepts. I would then suggest to describe these concepts with the words "offset of the cue box in the block rendering direction" (for the 'line' cue setting) and "offset of the cue box in the inline direction" (for the 'position' cue setting). Cheers, Silvia.
