Good idea. Since *.1 names look like libraries and man pages, it would be best to avoid that. Also, this applies to non-SCSI.
We also need a simple old-style name and a volume label, which could be symlinks to the exact physical name.
This looks good:
/dev/disk/1-1-1-0-2 # exact physical name /dev/sdb2 -> disk/1-1-1-0-2 # simple name /dev/volumes/users_a_to_m -> ../disk/1-1-1-0-2 # volume label
