Yep for some reason thats how they measure it,

and although what John W says also makes as much sense especially for flat discs without a carrier as they would be zero offset

For me I would have have thought from mounting face of the hub to the centre line of the disc would be the way to measure it, that way all discs would have a positive offset even a flat one dependent on the thickness of the rotor.
One thing I have wanted to setup many times is the caliper spacing, where I want the distance between the centre track of a pair of calipers to be the same as the distance between centres of a pair of discs or the centre track of a single caliper and the centre-line of the wheel to match the distance between the disc and the centre of the wheel.
