I think this new top-level directory is doomed to failure.  For one
thing, for a well set-up server, you'll need /srv to be on a separate
partition from /.  Since you already need separate partitions for /usr,
/var, /home, /tmp, and (in some places) /usr/local, you really don't
want a new top-level directory.  The first thing I'd probably do is make
/srv a symlink to /var/srv, /usr/local/srv, or some such.

Face it, user-modifiable files belong in /usr/local.  We don't need a
new top-level directory (that is different from every Unix-like system
in existence) to hold local files.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
