XDG directory compliance?

One thing I've been thinking of doing for a while is to make Texinfo
programs meet the XDG standard:

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

The only file I'm aware of is .infokey for the info program, but there
may be others.  This would mean that the file moves from '$HOME/.infokey'
to '$HOME/.config/infokey' or possibly '$HOME/.config/texinfo/infokey'.

I feel it makes it easier when moving between different computers to
minimise the number of "dotfiles" in one's home directory and knowing
what is disposable and what should be kept.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this?
