I can't conceive of a realistic case where one would want to scale the base address. Scaling the offset is fine, but never the base. So reg*scale+offset seems meaningless. Base + Offset * Scale on the other hand makes much more sense. Of course, this is all about terminology, so if you regard an immediate, such as a symbol as an offset, then perhaps you have something close to the original term, but I think then you've inverted things, since your symbol is really the base, not the offset.
