I do too.  

I think it would be OK to have a smart server provide a superset of
what you would normally get from the protocol.  For example we could
get something like

  http://panoramicfeedback.com/bzr.24,format=tgz

To get the whole thing in one go.  If that's 404 because it's on a
dumb server fall back to the regular method.  (Usual questions about
once-and-only-once vs optimization, etc.)

The other thread persuaded me ,rev is probably the way to go.

In particular consider that bzrweb might want to use # anchors to
scroll within an html page, and ,rev to choose a version.
