Purpose of /net directory

I notice on my system (Manjaro Linux) that: 1. I have an empty directory named /net 1. This directory is not mentioned in the [Filesystem Hierarchy Standard](http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html) What is the intention behind this directory (quoting chapter and verse)? --- Is it like /mnt ([which is for temporary mounts](http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#MNTMOUNTPOINTFORATEMPORARILYMOUNT)) but for network (eg sshfs, nfs) mountpoints? Or, in other words, is it like /media, but for non-removable non-temporary mount points?
