Might be easier to look for any changes, by referencing the 
single page version of the FHS, as was:

 https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.html

and the FreeDesktop's single-page version:

 https://specifications.freedesktop.org/fhs/latest-single/


FWIW, the non-FreeDesktop FHS also has a plain text version

  https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.txt

whilst the FreeDesktop don't seem to have/host single-page
plain text docs: bur maybe a "modern desktop" doesn't need
them?

FWOW, most of the differences I could see from a 'links2 -dumo'
of the two single page resources, would suggest that, barring 
some extra copyright and acknowledgement text in the FreeDesktop
version, it's a verbatim copy of the actual content, with just 
a few bits of markup changed.
