I would just have the 
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/javaee/tags/5.0.0.Beta3/ tag contain the entire project structure that makes up the 5.0.0.Beta3 release, and this would include the various projects with their independent pom versions. It should just be a big bang release. It is likely that many subprojects are not going to change as we go from 5.0.0.Beta3 to 5.0.0.GA, but they should still be revd in terms of the qualifier as the aggregate release is revd. Maybe the aggregate qualifier (Beta3 in this case) should just be appended to all of the subprojects for simplicity.

This is mostly an issue of ease of release management vs tracking compatibility. If the projects only change their version when there is a code change, its code should still be under the https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/javaee/tags/x.y.z for the aggregate release. Maven should simply not re-release the same code. If a project depends on another whose version has changed, its dependency/compatiblity range should be updated and re-released.
