You are absolutely correct. I should get a bigger terminal, seems like I
was misinterpreting the horizontal alignment... :-/ Excuse my mistake.

So as our hierarchy guidelines already include ${prefix}/www we should
most probably go with it. The usage of this path was unknown to me
before, but I assume it was borrowed from FreeBSD.

Sorry for the noise, but at least we talked about it in case someone
else asks why we aren't using ${prefix}/var/www.
