This is very similar to my proposal's third alternate, except with mine: You don't have to ignore left/right/top/bottom. If left/right/top/bottom are auto in an axis, then non-auto polar-distance starts from the center of that axis. Otherwise you just use left/right/top/bottom to determine where the center of the element is (and thus where the polar movement starts from) instead of using 'polar-origin'. If 'polar-origin' was to be a percentage, then it is easy to set 'left' as a percentage instead. I think that would be the most common use case. If you wanted the offset to be some other length from center, then you would need 'calc'. My fourth alternate to my proposal, which I favor (using a 'center' property), doesn't require 'calc'.
