All the user's directories > hold the user's data, not just this one. Compare the variable data-directory. user-data-directory would be like data-directory, except for the user. (I don't think that the name data-directory suggests that all data is in that directory, only that the Emacs data files are in that directory. By a similar token, user-init-file doesn't suggest that all the user's initialization is in that file, only the Emacs initialization.) Kai
