many people want to share /usr/share in large networks, even with
multiple architectures. nobody wants to share /usr/local/.
and a sysadmin may do in /usr/local whatever he likes.
fhs draft has a /usr/local/share, so you can use it.
(in fact nobody wants to change software, that installs in $prefix/share
...)

uh, i dont know policy. but an admin may do in /usr/local what he likes,
and new fhs draft recommends a /usr/local/share.
