Minority report out of the silent majority:
I got used to the status quo, which is totally natural once you
internalized the meaning of \voice<Digit>. Hardly use it, though, but
that's a different story.
I agree with you that these names are semantically suboptimal. On the
other hand, I find something like \inner \VoiceUp etc. slightly too
verbose; I'll get used to it, but I can't say I'm too fond of it.
I am a radical conservative: I want to keep everything the way it should
have been from the start.
If that's the goal: I again agree with you that top-to-bottom makes the
most sense IMHO; but either the << ... \\ ... \\ ... >> just assigns
names, not styles, or you should also think about some syntactic sugar
to specify the boundary between "up" and "down" voices. Something like
<<
topmost \\ 2nd from top

topmost stem-down \\ middle stem-down \\ bottom stem-down

which would translate to << 1 \\ 3 \\ 6 \\ 4 \\ 2 >>...
