Whups! I'm not sure if you mistyped above, or if you misunderstood
what I wrote. My language was technically accurate, but perhaps
needlessly terse. Let's try again:

  Valid Subversion paths are a *subset* of valid UTF8 strings.
  Specifically, they are UTF8 strings with no control characters.
  Except, one particular control character is allowed: TAB. All
  other control characters are prohibited.

So, TAB *is* allowed. Other control chars are not. Still +1, right?
