It's not just a simple directory.  It's the merged content 
of several directories as defined in the trash spec. 

IIUC, one goal is to make it possible to avoid filling up the 
user's home directory and copying megabytes of data 
over from one partition to another if the user 
decides to trash a large file like an iso image 
that's located on some scratch space partition.

Here's the freedesktop spec page:  http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards
It lists the trash spec: http://www.ramendik.ru/docs/trashspec.html

Sorry, no idea.
