Subproject organization question

Howdy!
 
I hope that someone can help me with a question that I have which is
more of a usage or procedure question. In the past, I've used CVS at
other companies where there was a repository and then a certain number
of projects under the repository. Those who could commit to the
repository could create new projects as needed and projects mapped more
or less one-to-one to their Eclipse namesakes. The current company that
I work for has made project creation something that must be requested of
admins. Projects here contain multiple subprojects, so one has to dig
about inside of the trunk, branches or tags directories looking for the
actual project you want to check out since we have these conventional
directories at the top of each project.
 
I'm wondering if there is any reason why I couldn't eliminate those
directories from the top of the project (or at least ignore them) and
recreate them inside of each subproject, so that I'd have something like

        project-->sp1-->trunk-->[eclipse project files and code dirs
with code]
               | |->branches-->[copies of trunk]
                 | -->tags-->[copies of trunk]
             |
             |--sp2-->trunk
                   |->branches
                   |->tags

This would allow me to view the project more like a repository and the
teams could create "subproject" (which I view as projects) as needed
while maintining the ability to tag and branch the "subprojects"
independently of each other.

Thanks for any comments.
