"First space below the staff" is perfectly clear. But "first space IN the staff" is ambiguous. How do I know whether you are counting spaces down from the top, or up from the bottom? To be clear you need a more cumbersome phrase, something like "first space up from the bottom of the staff". That's why we have code names like "e1", and "BBb" which are meaningless to most people if they don't have a chart in front of them.
