Makes sense to me, hope you do find the time! :) 

At the time when py.path.svn started there was not much --xml
support from svn.  As long as we are compatible to svn >=1.3 
we are fine, i think.  Would be nice if you go for that and indeed
shouldn't be hard and easy to test that the xml parsing is
right (easier than the current mess). 

cheers,
