No, it seems you didn't read FHS standard (follow link above):
[..]
Although the use of subdirectories in /mnt as a mount point has recently
been common, it conflicts with a much older tradition of using /mnt
directly as a temporary mount point.
[..]
/mnt : Mount point for a temporarily mounted filesystem
Purpose
This directory is provided so that the system administrator may temporarily
mount a filesystem as needed. The content of this directory is a local
issue and *should* *not* *affect* *the* *manner* *in* *which* *any*
*program* *is* *run*.
