Cache should be in ~/.cache/foo

I suggest $HOME/.cache/fenics/instant/

What is "XDG Base Directory Specification" used for?

Why not just:

  $HOME/.cache/fenics/

Johan

Better with instant/ so other projects can cache stuff.

Yes.

On a related note, I've put dolfin_parameters.xml in

  ~/.config/fenics/

not in

  ~/.config/fenics/dolfin

Should it be moved? In the config case, I seems the directory is not
necessary since we can expect at most one file per FEniCS application
(but there may be more).

Opinions?

OK, but I would like to postpone this til after 1.0 and the book are
released, in particular
since we have written about the cache location in the instant chapter.

which are based on X follows freedesktop.org.
