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).
