[dev] documentation folder for applications

Hi,

I've noticed that most released applications install their documentation into /usr/share/pear/doc. Is there another good reason for this except that "all PEAR packages install documentation into pear/doc"? I can justify why this is OK for libraries, but in my opinion INSTALL/UPGRADING documentation for applications should be installed into application root folder. Because it is really uncommon for the administrators to find documentation in /usr/share/pear/doc. Especially for administrators of web applications (even if they are distrubuted through PEAR).
