The problem with that arrangement is that in order to make it work /www needs to be accessible by apache, and he subfolders, and therefore that means that /www/application is also accessible by apache and so creates a security risk for the application.
The reason why symfony is structured like /application/web is that only the web directory needs to be open to apache and the rest of the application is securely stored above it where apache cannot access files.
