Intuitively, I'd say: Take the set of white moves, and the set of black 
moves, rotated around the center. You want:
(a) the overlap to be as small as possible
(b) If there are captures, the capture of a certain piece should preferrably 
occur
  (b1) on a different square
  (b2) by a different piece

For me, 1. e4 d5 is a rotational-symmetric opening, despite the asymmetry in 
the king/queen positions.
