Ehh... the above may be a confusing dud as well.  Now that I think about it,

"right margin top"

would be equivalent to

"top margin right"

and top margin is a concept that will cause confusion as being equal to "above".

How about

Syntax:
      set key {on|off} {default}
              {{inside | tmargin | bmargin | lmargin | rmargin} | {at <position>}}
              {left | right | center} {top | bottom | center}

where

"above" = "tmargin"
"below" = "bmargin"
"outside" = "rmargin" + "top"

?
