Ok, I think I have not made myself clear enough. On using KWord I was a bit 
puzzled by the fact one could set sub/super and an offset from baseline and 
that they were additive (the exact offset of a text with subscript plus 
offset of 4 is unknown to the user). I think it would be more logical that 
sub/super would set a preset default value, and that "manual" offset and 
relative size would be for a "custom" text position.

Yes but if I read the OASIS spec right, the offset can be either sub/super or 
a % value. So setting sub/super and an offset value will not be able to be 
saved in an OASIS file format (one has to drop either the sub/super or the 
value).

This is the problem I have with what I had in mind (not with the current 
dialog) : sub/super button would set a predefined value (without the 
possibility of changing them) and that "manually" set values would belong to 
a "custom" text position.
