Description
The data directory would be located in the code root by default, protected by .htaccess.
We don't have to remove the option of putting it elsewhere, so non-apache people and those who appreciate the enhanced security of an outside data directory can do what they need to do, and the rest of the world can have 1 less step to the install process.
I recommend root/elgg-data/ -- Assuming we're going to end up namespacing all top level directories per #2999.

I'm moving this to future release. This needs discussion still. As I understand it, one of the main source of WordPress hacks has been how it handles its data directory.
