I completely agree with the article that more people should use the spec. I already do this for all my personal projects and nothing drives me up the wall more than seeing random config files strewn about.

It also provides an easy target for freeing disk space if you do run into issues (just `rm -r $XDG_CACHE_HOME`).

That said, I do think the spec would be improved by defining what constitutes a "user-specific data file" and how that is different from a "user-specific state file". Wouldn't "user-specific data files" just be "files" from a users perspective? I like the idea they have for this, but it's kind of under defined.

Though that's probably a good thing because no one wants a ontological tome to wade through when working on a bash script or the like.
