Norbert proposed,

|   unsterilized-mangled-archive
|   unsterilized-faithful-archive
|   sterilized-mangled-archive
|   sterilized-faithful-archive
|
|   (In a mangled-archive, the site with the robot is allowed to mangle
|   the messages in any way.  In a faithful-archive, any site which
|   hosts archives must provide a complete record of the flow of
|   discussion on the list, with unmangled message text for each
|   posting.)

... except that in a sterilized faithful archive, sterilization of email
addresses in the text has to supersede fidelity; for that matter, in a
sterilized mangled archive, the duty to sterilize supersedes the permission to
mangle.  That may be glaringly obvious to us, but for others it needs to be
spelled out.
