Property to mark the location of tags folder?

I've been following the discussion of the CVS-vs-SVN tags debate, and
here are my $0.02 :

*) Is it possible to add a 'svn tag' command, which depends on the
presence of a svn:tags-location prop in the root of the working copy?
'svn:tags-location' would then point to the tags directory, relative
to the URL location of the working copy. (I do understand that this
might get kludgy, but it's just a suggestion)
*) In a similar light, why not also add a 'svn:tag-directories' prop
to the root of the whole repository? Then, when a commit is performed,
the svn server-side code could look into this property, verify that
the commit is NOT affecting a tree marked by tag-directories, etc,
IMHO this is an acceptable middle ground to CVS tagging and SVN
tags/branches-as-copies, and enforcement of tag immutability are then
left as integral to the system.

Of course, feel free to take apart my suggestions. ;)
