There most certainly is tagging in SVN. Albeit the concept of tagging in SVN is very different from CVS. The same is true for branches in SVN as well. SVN just makes copies of everything because the SVN developers made the assumption that disk space is cheap.
svn doesn't create duplicate data. It simply creates a link in the new dir, saying that "this dir" is a copy of "that dir" using revision xxx. The "copy" effectively uses 0 disk space.
This doesn't mean that we can't continue to utilize tagging just the way we have with the mileston releases so far.
Exactly. Also, you can still diff and merge from a tag/branch using svn.
