Your issue has been accepted. The @left and @right boxes are removed since
no other specification references them in the way that @top and @bottom are
referenced by PWG specifications [1, 2]. The following boxes are defined in
the place of @left and @right with the defaults you recommend.

left-top:
a variable height box within the area defined by the left margin and
adjacent to the bottom of the top-left-corner.  

left-middle:
a variable height box in the area defined by the left margin, centered on
the page area, and between the left-top and left-bottom margin boxes.  

left-bottom:
a variable height box within the area defined by the left margin and
adjacent to the top of the bottom-left-corner.  

right-top:
a variable height box within the area defined by the right margin and
adjacent to the bottom of the top-right-corner.  

right-middle:
a variable height box in the area defined by the right margin, centered on
the page area, and between the right-top and right-bottom margin boxes.  

right-bottom:
a variable height box within the area defined by the right margin and
adjacent to the top of the bottom-right-corner.
