Ok, good to know!

It feels wrong though to recommend doing something in the HowTo which
really is a reliance on a WC implementation specific rather than a
intended feature...

I'm thinking that if one really wants to:
 - have these items inside another WC
 - wants to be able to do TSVN stuff like diff/commit/update etc. on
them (thereby excluding the use of simple exported files)
 - but do _not_ want the items to be target of operations performed on
the parent project folder,

the correct way to do it would be to still use 'svn:externals', but
also add a 'svn:ignore' to the parent of the external folder, to tell
the client to ignore the entire external shebang.

Untested (I'm on a svn-less linux box atm), but if it works as I
suspect, I think it's better than recommending juggling WC folders
around to achieve the same effect.

I use the word "recommend" without having read your work, sorry if I
got it wrong :-).
