I suppose that's true, it doesn't directly effect desktop
functionality. Yet I think it's not unreasonable to consider some
broader ideas beyond the immediate desktop to gain indirect benefits
that further free-desktop goals.

In fact, I actually think just saying "you can think of ~/.local/ as
the per-user variation of /usr or /usr/local" in the documentation
would go a long way in clarifying the spec.
