under a misc directory still defeats the idea of a directory structure that
eases maintenance.
True, but I think we cannot mandate that everyone put every single file
in its own directory. If a particular TeX maintainer (you :-) or package
maintainer wishes to use a separate directory for each, that's perfectly
ok, and nothing in the TDS precludes this. I will add explicit text to
this effect.
One more thought about the draft. I don't think it is appropriate to specify a
reserved tmp directory under the tex hierarchy for dynamically-generated fonts.
Again, there's nothing that says you have to use tmp, or even that it
has to exist. It won't be in my next release, for example.
I am not opposed to removing it, but I see no harm in leaving it.
Thanks for your comments.
