The position / outerposition properties are still in need of a lot of  
lower level support (tightinset info for example). Since the  
tightinset is not yet calculated the position property currently is  
preferred. This might not have been the best choice in all instances,  
but it helps when aligning multiple exes (as in done in subplots).

To get the effect you desire, try adjusting the"position" property  
instead.
