BitTorrent already does.
MySQL should.

The MySQL database by default SHOULD be /srv/mysql - and on all my 
installs, it gets changed to that.

I personally leave the default for httpd alone - but any and all virtual 
hosts are defined in their own .conf file and point to 
/srv/domain.tld/www for their document root.

But yes - some packages do, and others (like databases) should make use 
of /srv

In my opinion anyway.
Of course, opinions are like ego's - everybody has got one.
