In math, coordinates are (x, y). Windows GDI uses left-top-right-bottom, and it had been around for 6 years before CSS was invented. Best I can tell, both Carbon and Cocoa use left-top-right-bottom (or left-top-width-height). It's the CSS inventors who went the wrong way on this one I'm afraid.

I think it's consistent with Windows Forms, MFC, GDI, VB, and probably others. So, from my perspective as a programmer they DID stay consistent.

In any case, I really wish they would have kept it consistent with CSS.
