That's the rule of thumb I see applied to what goes in /srv. In a LAMP box for example I'd expect to see the website(and site logs), database files, and POP3/IMAP spools stored in srv directories. Machine specific data like system logs and email processing spools get stored in /var.
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.
Not likely... Storage paths are all arbitrary and if a standard has to make up a new location that breaks existing concepts they've already done something wrong. So far the LSB has been good at making up things that nobody used before - not so good at getting everyone to agree to change (and change again every time they change their minds).
