Such as? Everything pertaining to configuration and administration and cetaera 
is (or at least should be) in dotfiles. That is: hidden from the user's 
normal view. Ergo: everything not being a dotfile (or dotdir, whatever) in a 
homedir is user's own data. I don't see any advantage of having another 
artificial directory level below home; and this doesn't come free, either: 
you get longer paths that way, and that means more typing when entering them 
manually.
