AFAIK, there's nothing in the XDG base directory specification which
limits it to GUI programs. The «X» in XDG means «cross», not «X11». :-)

| "See also the XDG Base Directory specification (ref), which sets a
| number of conventions intended to organize users' home directories.
| The XDG Base Directory specification is recommended, but not
| mandated."
Looks reasonable to me.
