Well, detected the !svn/bc namespace right now and I does exactly what I
want: It gives me access to old revisions via browser. Wow! So I'd
really suggest to rethink this policy at least for the !svn/bc
namespace: mod_dav_svn has the capability to deliver old revisions to
browsers, so why not announce this feature. Don't see the point in
disavowing existing, useful features.

Been there and didn't like what I saw. Guess why know about
SVNIndexXSLT?
