I don't think "Relative" adds any value here.

Also, the word "position" is used to represent a tree-position in DOM in
WebKit so please don't use that to represent a point in a screen or a
layout coordinate system.

I don't like "offset" either because it's such an overloaded word. e.g.
"offset" is often used to mean a child node index in DOM.
