There's already a defacto standard of X-No-Archive for "do not archive this
message".

How about creating another header:

X-No-Archive-List: (descriptive string).

If that exists, then the string either explains the policy or points to a
URL that explains the policy. If that exists, you don't archive that list
without following the policy.

Too simple?
