I prefer to maintain 'polar-' prefix for 'polar-angle' and 'polar-distance'.
I want those properties to have the meaning of forming polar coordinates
instead of Cartesian coordinates when an author uses them to position an
element.
In that point of view, 'top', 'right', 'bottom, and 'left' can't be used
with 'polar-angle' and 'polar-distance' on an element.

I wonder something about the CSS Logical Properties.
When there is a logical property, then will the physical property which is
mapped to it be maintained or dropped?
A logical property should provide something that the physical property
correspond to it can't do?

If the physical properties are maintained as polar-angle / polar-distance,
then the candidates of logical namings for them could be:
   - offset-polar-angle / offset-polar-distance
   - radial-angle / radial-distance
   - offset-angle / offset-distance

But I think offset-angle / offset-distance is nice among them.

Thanks,
