(0,0) is the upper left corner of whatever virtual desktop (_NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT in the Compiz wall way of doing things) is currently visible, with x and y increasing to the right and down. A window can be at negative coordinates if it is on a virtual desktop that is to the left or above what is visible. But not in the _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP (Openbox desktop) sense; those windows are all at (0,0).
That said, using negative numbers to mean "plus the width or height, minus this value" is an encoding you could live to regret.
