local home data directory

[George Farris <george gmsys com>]

Just reading over the docs on freedesktop.org.  I see that if a user is
creating an application that has local data files such as a phonebook
for example.  Assuming the following:

Application name - appy
Data file name - phbk

This file should be created in $HOME/.local/share/appy/phbk

Is anyone actually following the freedesktop.org standards with regard
to these things or did I not understand this correctly?
