That all sounds good.

You mean, when you export from WC (not from BASE), the keywords that refer to "this revision" will take their values from the BASE revision, because there is no "this revision" yet? That sounds like a reasonable behaviour, but I just want to ask whether that situation arises with any other commands and, if so, do they handle it the same way?

(The only one I can think of is "svn cat -rWC" which is not yet implemented, for which there is a patch attached to issue 1361: svn cat -rBASE contacts repository. I can't remember what it does in this situation, but it can be changed to match your choice.)
