I don't think that's the case… think of how when you're dragging elements around in Keynote or Powerpoint, how you get guidelines that snap in relationships between elements.
This is centered in that, these things have the same width, the space between these two things is 10, the left edges of these things align.
Those relationships are what's expressed. When someone is designing a layout, those are the terms they're going to be thinking in.
