This is kind of the way they use to handle in menus in gnome back in
the day.  The menu launchers were in directories that corresponding to
their place in the menus and such like that.

They went to a vfs model after that and the whole xml thing.  

Fedora currently uses the freedesktop method which is a bit different
than the typical gnome vfs2 virtual folder markup for xml I think.

There is a standard.  

It is just getting everyone essentially to use it.
