Patches would be welcome.  Sadly, svn-1.5 and higher have made
svnmerge.py somewhat irrelevant, so it's not particularly likely
you'll see this implemented otherwise.  The change suggested is
non-trivial, but certainly not impossible (in fact, svnmerge.py uses
the --xml option in many places already).
