Yeah, you're right. Better to implement in Subversion.

But... here's another suggestion:

If this group decides upon a standard, and PUBLISHES it to the web site
as THE CORRECT URL SCHEME to use to access versions in the repository,
actual implementation could be put off until later--people could then go
ahead and build client applications to use the defined standard, and use
Apache rewriting to get them to work until they're implemented in
Subversion.

Cheers,
John
