If you're hovering, then hover with the sweetspot in the desired impact position. When you sole the club from this "ideal" impact position, you'll notice the ball is towards the toe of the club. However, I know several people that address the ball on the hosel from wedge to driver. Geometrically correct?...no. Comfortable and subsconciously adjusted for on every stroke?...yes. Like Homer said, psychological considerations must be taken into account.
The bottom line is that if you hover the club, then hover with the sweetspot aligned with your desired impact point on the ball. If you sole the club, get the ball slightly out towards the toe. Overall, it's not going to be the difference-maker between shooting 100 and shooting 70. But every little thing you can do to make your stroke more geometrically sound is worthwhile to me.

I also have seen a very low handicap player do the same thing...I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw him do it but it didn't take long for me to realize for him it worked well.

That's amazing....I can't believe the amount of knowledge in that book....there's so many little things like this (about learning the game, building a swing, etc.) that are big things it's pretty much impossible to incorporate them all....
