This does sound like the best solution yet. And I don't have a real
opinion either whether there's a separate revision argument or not.

After thinking about this myself for a while - I have to agree. If
there's a unified "svn prop", then it must be done with real
subcommands on the subcommand, not just flags. And unless we want
subcommands of subcommands and someone codes support for them, we can
just forget this option.
