Yup. So if the server understands the public (i.e., user-visible) URL
syntax, then it will retrieve the correct resource.

The server is also welcome to understand other syntaxes, such as
".../!svn/rev/X/...". And clients are free to transform one syntax
into another, as long as they mean the same thing and the server
understands both.

(Not proposing that we spending time making the server understand a
new syntax, by the way; but we can set a standard that depends on that
being done later.)
