i just read up on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1Q
according to that you still have a physical seperation on each edge
switch. ie it is not each computer that connects to the shared network
and decides which vlan to be on, but a switch which knows which vlan it
belongs to. 

so you still need two switches for two subnets.
