Ok.

Hmmm... take it a step further, and make a "svn:shortcut" which might list "$"
as "/"? Then set "T" as "$/tags", and you can use T/1.4.0 ...

Then make a "project-wide" configuration! Simply require that the top level
directory checked out *must* include a "svn:layout" or whatever.
I believe that the additional complexity by giving a new *dimension* -- both
in code, and *in explanations* (where Branko already said that it's difficult
to grasp for users!) is not worth the "magic", esp. if you can get it in
easier terms.
(Whether we'd *really* get all the needed functionality, I don't know. I
didn't see a chart "What we have/What is needed" listing what is missing now,
so I can only interpolate).
