you may be interested in:

but aside from that, and in reply to your statement above. You made some 
suggestions during the discussions which may be worthwhile. And the 
affect the designer, not the components, so they would not be a problem 
for Delphi compatibility.

1) Anchor-Editor could indicate, if an anchor is not available due to 
align. Actually more dependencies in other properties may exist.
I would recommend making that a feature request on the bug tracker. So 
it will not be forgotten. (there is a wiki page for ideas too, but I 
don't remember it's location)

2) Adding (not necessarily replacing the old info) extra info to the 
position hints. That could be valuable too
The position (top=200) may still be valuable, even if a result of 
anchors. But certainly in order to use this information, one would need 
the full info
