Where would you put that? Into the definition of
'hal-storage-removable-mount'? How would you be able to mount anything
else then if you restrict it to dave and dave's usb key? You cannot
introduce another privilege file as hal-storage-mount always asks
for the 'hal-storage-removable-mount' privilege.

It's also less versatile if you need to c&p individual UDIs. With the
fdi file approach you can match a group of devices.
