I don't recall /lib53 being called out on LSB, it is in FHS.

3.9. /lib : Essential shared libraries and kernel
modules
3.9.1. Purpose
The /lib directory contains those shared library images needed to
boot the system and run the commands 11
in the root filesystem, ie. by binaries in /bin and /sbin.3.9.2.
Requirements At least one of each of the following filename patterns
are required (they may be files, or symbolic links): File
 Description
libc.so.*
 The dynamically-linked C library (optional)
ld*
 The execution time linker/loader (optional)
12
If a C preprocessor is installed, /lib/cpp must be a reference to it,
for historical reasons.3.9.3. Specific Options The following
directories, or symbolic links to directories, must be in /lib, if
the corresponding subsystem is installed: Directory
 Description
modules
 Loadable kernel modules (optional)
3.10. /lib<qual> : Alternate format essential
shared libraries (optional)
3.10.1. Purpose
There may be one or more variants of the /lib directory on systems
which support more than one binary 13
format requiring separate libraries.9
Found at
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
and http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs. 10 A
description of GLib's conventions can be found in the documentation
for GUserDirectory, at http://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-
Miscellaneous-Utility-Functions.html#GUserDirectory. 11 Shared
libraries that are only necessary for binaries in /usr (such as any X
Window binaries) must not be in /lib. Only the shared libraries
required to run binaries in /bin and /sbin may be here. In
particular, the library libm.so.* may also be placed in /usr/lib if
it is not required by anything in /bin or /sbin. 12 The usual
placement of this binary is /usr/bin/cpp. 13 This is commonly used
for 64-bit or 32-bit support on systems which support multiple binary
formats, but require libraries of the same name. In this case, /lib32
and /lib64 might be the library directories, and /lib a symlink to
one of them. 11 The Root Filesystem 3.10.2. Requirements
If one or more of these directories exist, the requirements for their
contents are the same as the normal / 14
lib directory, except that /lib<qual>/cpp is not required.

This is how most distributions are doing that today......
