This "obvious point" is not correct.  The WC format was changed
pre-1.0, and has changed again in 1.4.  Even more significant changes
we being discussed just yesterday on IRC (apparently lundblad has even
prototyped some of them).  The command output is, to an extent, also
part of Subverion's "API" promise (it's meant to be machine-parsable,
and many many programs out there wrap the command-line's output).
