I don't think "0%" is clearer than "Top".

In the case of Bot, some real information is actually omitted.
However, the information that the bottom of the buffer is on the screen
is also useful.


Agreed.  But would it be possible to provide an additional mode line format

code analagous to %p but measuring the percent of the buffer below the bottom
of the window? Then users like Dan could add that to their customized mode-line-format and have both values.
