Well, that one appears to be a compilation from various sources.
Unfortunately it neglects the linux-specific section in FHS doc about
kernel headers.
The doc to consider is that linked from the official LSB site. Docs on
tldp are not always on-target and unbiased (the former PHP HOWTO) or
up-to-date (such as my own contribution there).
We need to consider what big players might be certifying against, which
at this time appears to be LSB and FHS.

Well, probably because it's supposed to be very broad at first to try
to rein in the big distro makers. Once enough players have taken care
of the big chunks, work can begin on nailing the nitty-gritty details.
Also, remember FHS is but one part of the whole LSB. It'll get more
accurate with time, surely. But it has to start somewhere.

Yes, I agree.
