But in that case if you authenticate to the daemon mode server (via
CRAM-MD5 or something), you would still be able to write to the
repository via that server...

I suppose this isn't that big a deal, since if you're allowing read
access via the daemon, you probably aren't all that concerned about
sending data over the wire unencrypted, but I could envision scenarios
where it would matter, say if there were sections of the repository that
do require authentication for read access. It would be nice to have a
way to limit those to svn+ssh to ensure that sensitive data never goes
over the wire in the clear.
