well, /srv to me is served and shared storage. So anything on the 
network that isnt consumed directly by off-immediate-network clients 
using any service would end up there.

To me, thats the best match for usage - most other things, maybe 
everything else, has a fairly clear guideline from the LSB. although the 
lsb specs are themselves a bit in the air. Lets see if the 3rd or 4th 
time they get something done a bit more formally.
