It's unusual, but I don't see anything that would forbid it.

I have no objection to this spec change.
The word "main" doesn't mean much anyway.
The phrase "home trash" is clear (and represents a trash directory with a 
differently constructed path from the other ones), you just have to ensure the 
spec never says that it's necessarily for trashing the files from home even if 
that's the most common use case for it :-)
