Locations of POSIX.2c binaries?

[Robert Watson]

We recently committed our getfacl and setfacl tools to the base FreeBSD
5.0-CURRENT branch, and received a comment about the location of the
files.  We placed them in /bin, in the style of our chmod, but comments
indicated that many users expected them to be in /usr/bin, as that is what
is used on Solaris.  Given that scripts tend to hard-code the location of
important binaries, it would be nice to be consistent here.  As such, I am
looking for some general views on how different implementors placed these
(and other POSIX.2c) binaries in the file system.  We're perfectly happy
to move to /usr/bin if that is more consistent, and it may well be. 

Thanks!
