I had the same thought.  To me, 'occur' has a clearer meaning in
that context, "the zeroth occurrence of subfield 'u'", while 'pos' has
more of the ambiguity described above.  So of the two, I'd prefer
'occur', but I can live with 'pos'.  Synonyms perhaps?  (Unless someone
has a need to delete the third subfield regardless of code?  I never
have, so perhaps not.)
