Handlebar stem measurements

[Rich]

I have a question on handlebar stem measurements.

According to the nashbar glossary "stem length is measured from the
center of the stem bolt to the center of the handlebar clamp".

But is that measurement perpendicular to the steerer tube, or along the
stem (which may be at an angle).

For instance would a 0 degree 120mm stem put the handlbars futher from
the seat horizontally then a 40 degree 120mm stem, or the same distance?
