sdcard isn't java, its a filesystem. And the java package standard doesn't guarantee anything... just look how many packages there are with (incorrectly) "com.android". Besides, it would still get real ugly fast if everybody followed those standards -- you'd have an sdcard root full of junk thats hard to identify. Its nice to use a controlled heirarchy, i.e. /sdcard/data/games/game1, /sdcard/data/ games/game2, /sdcard/media/music/album1, /sdcard/media/video/comedy. When properly organized, its very easy to navigate directly to the data you want without needing complex and slow searches.
I know that its adding a little bit, but its not that much to add -- just keep track of the chosen path somewhere within your /data/data/ whatever area.
