I'm thinking of the case, for example, where I want my working resource base 
on a labeled revision even though the workspace always selects the "latest" 
revision (or latest in an activity,...)

I need to represent "check out revision labeled 'foo' into /myworkspace" 
there is no way to do this at present.

I agree that cross-workspace checkout is less useful but not infeasible.
