I was lumping them together, yes, but now note that I modify the 
proposal to maintain this distinction. These would change to:

[nt]
stdlib = {base}/lib
platstdlib = {base}/lib
purelib = {base}/lib/site-packages
platlib = {base}/lib/site-packages
include = {base}/include
platinclude = {base}/include
scripts = {base}/bin
data = {base}

[nt_user]
stdlib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}
platstdlib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}
purelib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}/site-packages
platlib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}/site-packages
include = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}/include
scripts = {userbase}/bin
data = {userbase}
