Thanks for pointing to that. I was thinking about that approach as well.
This has few downsides:
- You cannot define mount options as user.
- You cannot pick correct options based on logged user's locale or time
   zone.

That is why I consider the first example of use in the comment 3 as an 
abuse.

And technically, there should be a possibility to add mount options, not 
only define.

I agree, that this approach looks better integrated.

Maybe the best solution would be:

- Use udev for root based configuration.

- Use udisks2 / gnome-disks for user configuration.
