The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard recommends /srv/www but only one of the big, SuSE, uses it.

Actually it doesn't. For big sites hosting various services it recommends a /srv/<domain>/<service> layout as well. It also makes rights management easier (give admins of domainX full access to /srv/domainX, admins of domainY full access to /srv/domainY and so on).

In fact it is deliberately left to the site admin how to deal with it, which is why no vendor or distribution should touch anything inside /srv other than offering the /srv folder itself.
