Why do they need to have it standarized where to put there data beside
what the FHS or LSB say?

The application will use icon loader FOO and they need to put their icons 
where FOO expects it. That can be _anywhere_ and I can't see any technical 
reason why the icon loader should be interchangable for one app.
