Window.Current.Bounds contains more information about Position, not just Size

[michael-hawker]

In the Make code portable across windowing hosts table, the guidance for CoreWindow.GetForCurrentThread().Bounds and Window.Current.Bounds is to use uiElement.XamlRoot.Size. That's fine if you're just trying to get the size of the window; however, Bounds also contained the X,Y position on screen.

More guidance should be provided here on how to retrieve the coordinates properly when hosted in scenarios with multiple window potential. i.e. translating this scenario
