Enlightenment is following the FDO specs here where possible I believe

Yes but only for stuff in the users home directory

No: Enlightenment (efl) ships its themes as single compressed binaries,
all sounds are included as part of these themes

No: But mostly because enlightenment doesn't have a built in way of
viewing help files, its help files go into the standard directory set by
autotools

No
