/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.
This directory must not be used by installation programs: a suitable
temporary directory not in use by the system must be used instead.

FHS says about /usr/X11R6: ``An exception is made for the X Window
System because of considerable precedent and widely-accepted practice.''
So it's an exception, _not_ the rule. (pls don't start to ask if kde/qt
can also be an exception...not it can not imo)
