*Library/AppName has been the obviously correct, universally-accepted
location since "the beginning of time".
My ~/Library has: Affiche, Fonts, GNUMail, OmniWeb, Quantrix, StepTalk,
Terminal, WetPaint, sThinking (solidThinking, OS4.2), and so on.
It's a single, simple, rule that works everywhere -- and directories need
not be nearly empty to be useful.
A filesystem without much in it is putting the cart before the horse. A
filesystem hierarchy is for storing files. ;)
