Some more data:

xdg.el is not (yet?) supported by Aquamacs [1]. While we do not
officially support Aquamacs, it is probably best to avoid xdg.el if we
can.

Also, there is an ongoing discussion at emacs-devel about Emacs support
for XDG specs and similar [2]. If the new user-directory library gets
merged to Emacs, it may be the way to go (with proper back-compatibility
aliases).
