I don't know why any player would care or want to get a rulign on pot placement, but this is a horrible procedure. The main pot shoudl already be in roughly the center fo teh table (the flop in the center to it needs to be somepalce else). TO know move it to some other location on the table would not be a good procedure. Also the burn cards are protected by the main pot so to move this pot is risking exposing the burns. If a dealer has trouble keepign track of side pots he should be removed from the gaming floor and receive additional training until he is able to keep track of side pots.

I agree with everything Randy said -- but I was just going to post that my understanding is that as Randy implied the presence of the burn cards identifies the main pot, for whatever reason. Tradition?

The burn cards go under the pot because they need to be "protected" that is it needs to be clear that cards were in fact burned. The reason they identify the main pot is they were already under it when it was just "the pot" (before any side pots were created).
