I like the "lower third" idea, I don't like the "could start in the
middle" ...
I think system gestures should be/stay restricted to the edges, every
gesture that you let use the screen is one we steal away from app devs.
The (top/left/right) edges are already kind of taken by the system,
making one of them more fine grained sounds better than stealing extra
screen space from the apps.
