Just a FYI, LSB doesn't obviously necessarily apply to everything, but here's 
some related pointers, they seem to be thinking about related things for 
future LSB revisions.

http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/etc.html
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/initsrcinstrm.html
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/lsbinstall.html

And BTW, for what it's worth, it's /etc/init.d, not /etc/rc.d/init.d in LSB - 
so it might not hurt to treat /etc/init.d as the "canonical" path in Fedora 
wherever it is hardcoded into even though there is the symlink between the 
two.
