FIN> Fin MIB Head Location error?

ON pg 16 of the FIN mib draft we define head location as follows. I think 
we meant to say parallel to the Process Axis, not perpendicular. 

 finHeadLocation(13),               Integer32 (-2..2147483647)
         INTEGER: MULTI-ROW:  Defines the position of the Head
           Mechanism relative to the axis, 'X' or 'Y', that is
           perpendicular to the Process Axis.  The units of measure
           are defined by the attribute finProcessOffsetUnits.

Also, I'm not sure we ever thought of this... but is head location 
intended to represent the CENTER of the operation? Example, for hole 
punch, center seems to be the natural conclusion. But, for staple, top of 
bottom of staple might be as natural (or better) reference than center. 
Anyone with any experience related to this?
