Then do the latter, its your choice. However, if a program needs to mount a file system temporarily, it needs to know of a place that it can assume is 'safe'. Now this isn't a big deal when you have the source, and everything is configurable, but if the application is closed, it might not be configurable. By following the standard, the program can be set up to mount any temporary file system, be it a cdrom, floppy, or loopback file system at a mount point that it can assume to be available if the system meets the FSH standard.
