I really prefer to get a simple tag URL, such as:

$SVN/developers/name/tags/date-tagname

Why?

Because I prefer to rely on the output of:
   svn log $SVN/developers/name/tags/date-tagname
to find about xxx, and there's no way to get yyyy wrong when you use 
HEAD, given that tags cannot be modified.  :-)

[clarification: tags can be created, deleted, and re-created, but not 
modified.]
