Augmentation dot

Maurizio M. Gavioli
The standard includes two augmentation dot glyphs (if there are more I missed them): U+E216 and U+E22C.

The first is vertically centred in the space below the base line (on -125 y), the second is centred slightly above the base line (on +30 y): which one, if any, is intended to be used are 'standard' augmentation dot in a score?

The chapter on metrics says: "Glyphs for movable notations that apply to some vertical staff position (e.g. note heads, accidentals) shall be registered such that the font baseline lies exactly at that position. For example, a typical notehead or accidental glyph is registered such that it is vertically centered on the baseline." Should not this also apply to augm. dot, requiring it to be vertically centred on 0 y?

Thanks,
