Well, I strongly disagree. What you propose goes far beyond the quote from FHS you tried to use to support your proposal.
Currently, the common practice for servers like FTP servers, TFTP servers, HTTP servers etc. is to create a logically named subdirectory under /srv, set its permissions as needed and point the default configuration of the daemon to it.
Important observation: this common practice does not contradict the FHS quote at all. However, your proposal strictly forbids it. Therefore such rule has no support in the FHS quote.
I don't think Ludwigs proposal was meant to forbid this practice. As you say, it makes sense to create empty directories under /srv and let the config point to them. But a set of files coming from a package that's supposed to be a web app (i.e. not just server software with a pre-configured but empty directory, but rather a collection of data and code files) should not be placed under /srv/ for the reason Ludwig stated. So, if the proposal would be amended to be explicit about allowing empty dirs in /srv/, would you still see issues?
