Runway Markings

Here´s a question for you interested in details. I wonder why the aiming point markings of an instrument runway are situated as they are...

is it dependant upon the descent gradient (glidepath) to give the aircraft a clearence of 50 ft over the T/H (a steper gradient would situate the markings closer to T/H according to this theory)
