I agree with what others have replied, just adding a few more details.

They are poorly defined, but it seems like they describe a position in physical pixel coordinates. Compositors don't use physical pixel coordinates to organize their outputs, instead they use logical coordinates. For instance, a HiDPI 4k screen with a scale of 2 will take up 1920x1080 logical pixels. There is no way to convert physical pixel coordinates to logical pixel coordinates in the general case, because there's no "global scale factor". So suggested_x/y are incompatible with the way compositors work.
