Addendum:
I've just googled my way to an official IETF internet draft, proposing
file:////servername/path. And, just for contrast, Mozilla currently works
with file://///servername/path. So, in summary, there is no standard way to
access an UNC path through an URL yet, but if the IETF declares a standard,
Subversion will likely support it.
