Another reason not to give users wholesale access to the mount command is that
they could then 'mount -o remount,rw' any filesystem that the administrator
has mounted read-only. To protect against this, I think you probably need
something a bit more complicated than just sudo. Of course, for a single
user system, this is not a problem.
