Seems to me we could have it both ways:

  http://host/some/path/leading/to/file.html;123

... for thing-at-the-end, or:

  http://host/some/path;123/leading/to/file.html

... for thing-in-the-middle. Note that we don't know or care whether
/some/path is the root of the repository, it just has to be in the
repository. The idea is that the revision number can appear at *any*
component of the path.

  This provides simple at-the-end rules that will always work, and
in-the-middle rules for manually constructed URLs. And it conforms to
the rules for URLs, as best as I can tell.

  I suppose we'd need to define what happens if two different numbers
appeared in the same path. How about "file not found"?

  I think John Peacock proposed this earlier, actually.
