Actually, that's the whole convenience of it. Especially for backing up :
just back up your whole Documents folder and don't worry where emails and
other data is.

That said, I suppose the idea of a user-designated location makes sense.
After all, Word has such a system. But Entourage honors aliases - just move
the MUD to your left foot if you want, but make an alias to it in
~/Documents. pretty simple, if you really want to move it. What's the fuss
about?
