Okay, so this is what I propose as the guideline in the SMuFL
documentation:

"Rests are relative to an imaginary staff position, typographically
speaking (usually the center line of a five-line staff in which the rest
assumes its default position). The font baseline should represent this
staff position, with the exception of the whole note (semibreve) rest,
which should hang from the font baseline."
