What do you mean by symmetry?  If you mean that the names for 0/1
should each differ in the same way from 2/3 respectively, then this
requires names that fail to distinguish between a vanilla CA (in
usage 0) and a trust-anchor (in usage 2).  Is such "symmetry" more
important than semantic fidelity?

[ Usages 0/1 are a blunder, we're continuing to pay the cost of
  this blunder. ]

Are the names in your view primary intended as alternative input
forms, or (perhaps as comments) in display forms of RRs?
