I concur with this: while the branding of the LDP may be better served
with the extra level, and while having a single root directory may be
more consistent with the way software populates /usr/doc, the
convention of having all our docs under directory names in CAPS makes
good sense as it places them at the top of a default directory
listing, and makes them instantly recognizable to anyone who stumbles
into /usr/share/doc.

Turf wars annoy me. There is no need to make the distinction since
the authorship/publisher information is irrelevent to the use of the
file. The purpose is to teach, not to acquire brand recognition.
