Actually, there is.

Please see this page:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#MEDIAMOUNTPOINT

/media exists solely for the purpose of *removable* *media*: media as in
disks and the like, not media as in audio and video.

Therefore, I wouldn't recommend putting it in a subdirectory of /media,
either.
