I don't think that'll work::
  $ repoquery --requires --repoid=development  subversion-devel
  apr-devel
  apr-util-devel
  subversion = 1.3.0-4.2

So whether we depend on subversion or subversion-devel we're creating a
situation where we cannot update subversion-core because the documentation is
out of sync.

OTOH, not including the release portion of EVR in the package dependencies makes
it less likely that the scenario I mentioned where a neon security flaw is
blocked by out-of-sync subversion/subversion-api-docs could occur but the
example would still be valid for security flaws in subversion itself.

You argue yourself, that exact EVR isn't necessary for the package dependencies
because an upgrade will just add accuracy to what is already there.  My argument
is just an extension of this: it's better that the subversion-api-docs are not
made dependent on subversion and are placed in their own
%{_docdir}/subversion-api-docs directory because it eliminates a potential
security problem in trade for a similar accuracy of the documentation.
