I think iSync and iCal should just be Sync and Calendar, kinda like how Mail is just...Mail.
iCal is an internet app in that it lets you subscribe to Webcal/iCalendar calendars and lets you submit your own calendars to a site (.mac or other).

iSync is an internet app due to its .mac syncing.

Arguably, that is. Personally, I agree with you. iCal, iSync, Mail, Address Book: they all belong together; they're Apple's PIM. Like Entourage, only done in four separate applications. There's no reason at all for two of the apps to start with an "i", and for the other two not to.
