Uppercase is actually quite wrong, but aside from that, is this compliant with the FHS?

Nice chart !

The quoted word "ROOT" at the top is a comment/label and should be *black*, not blue, for consistency - and to avoid confusions with /root .

For further clarity I would expand to something like "Root node" or you can find a better label

Many sites want their site indexed in google to recieve more hits and thus, make more money with advertisment on their site.
