As was mentioned earlier in the thread. Only $HOME/.local/share was in the Free Desktop specification. The bin is something that got introduced in this thread. It makes sense to stick to hier(7) for this sort of thing. Although the entire concept of a $HOME/.local was new to me as well and is not mandated at all in POSIX or other circles aside from, apparently, the Free Desktop folks.
Pendantic note: ~ is an expansion character, the correct variable to talk about is HOME (see IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 section 2.5.3 and 2.6.1).
