Spurious analogy. We're not talking about accepting URLs to WCs, only to
repositories. The converse comparison is: nowhere do we not accept a URL
to refer to a repository, except currently in svnadmin/svnlook. (Sure,
there's the "not a general RA access" argument, etc. to consider, and
I'm not fighting for accepting it, just responding to your statement.)
