Quite frankly this is also my opinion. But when I stated it on ivrix-discuss, the majority of the opinions there were that the mirroring should be done in the keymap level. Add to that the fact that the two newer "bidi" keyboard layouts (Farsi and Syriac) have parens mirrored. (Though The arabic one doesn't have mirroring), and I did want to reduce inconcintency within XFree.
