svn:keywords can work in binary documents too (e.g. Word documents or
what have you). Just be sure to use the fixed-width keyword syntax:

However, keywords wouldn't work in compressed documents, like
OpenOffice.org documents. :-/

If you don't want keywords appearing in your files, perhaps because
it looks ugly, then that's your decision, but that decision applies
just as much to text files as it does to binary files.
