Can't beat Wikipedia's simplicity:

Filesystem Hierarchy Standard > FHS compliance

Modern Linux distributions include a /sys/sys directory as a virtual filesystem (sysfssysfs, comparable to /proc/proc, which is a procfsprocfs), which stores and allows modification of the devices connected to the system, whereas many traditional UNIX and Unix-like operating systems use /sys/sys as a symbolic link to the kernel source tree.

I guess that, when this /sys directory got finally standardized, a description and its specification will be added to the Specifications ArchiveSpecifications Archive under the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard documentation.
