I don't really like it. You can't assume anything on the way people use
their subversion repositories. Some people might go for the classic :
.
|-- branches
|-- tags
|   |-- tag1
|   |-- tag2
|   `-- tag3
`-- trunk
    |-- subproj1
    |-- subproj2
    `-- subproj3
While others might not use "subprojects", or use :
.
|-- subproj1
|   |-- branches
|   |-- tags
|   `-- trunk
|-- subproj2
|   |-- branches
|   |-- tags
|   `-- trunk
`-- subproj3
    |-- branches
    |-- tags
    `-- trunk

Also, some people might want to use tags on their website.
The best way to deal with that would be to just ask for a path inside
their SVN tree which contains the up-to-date version of their website.

Also, this would solve the problem of daily SVN tarballs mentionned by
