Cable Routing and Wrong-Side Sidepulls

This is a pretty common thing, and always annoying:





Left lever front, right lever rear. Front caliper with cable on left. Braze-on cable guides for rear brake slightly right of center underneath top tube.

My best guess is some huge part of the cycling planet runs right/front left/rear, in which case everything works out. Be that as it may, how do you guys run your cables when the situation above presents itself? More or less as I've got it pictured or...?

It doesn't cause me any issues, really. Just looks... off, ya know?
