IMNSHO the classification /app - Application and /srv - Server should be based on the interaction class of the binary. That is, servers run (are meant to run) in the background (cf. UNIX daemon, Windows service) and applications run in the foreground. This is a rather clear classification and makes sense from the user's point of view. What kind of interface the services are presented over (IPC, socket, ...) seems immaterial.
