Here's a dumb question:

Why isn't the default "don't archive without the owner's permission?"

In other words, if someone's not set something, it's not archived.
In order to turn on archiving, they have to set a header that's something
like 'X-Archiving: okay' or 'Restrict: external-archives' or whatever?

I wonder about the assumption "it's okay to archive unless we say it's
not"; I'd rather have it be the other way around, "it's not okay to
archive, unless we say it is."
