(Interesting, tho, that he uses "a tempo" below the staff when "Moderato" is found above...... go figure)
I think it's because "general" or "overall" tempo terms like Moderato or Tempo I, which apply to a section, appear above the staff. More localized tempo markings like "rit." and "accel." which are about things that happen *within* those general markings go under the staff. It isn't always that clear which is which, but it seems to make sense most of the time, to me at least.
