These stability requirements allow clients to make certain assumptions

retrieved the archive document at a particular URI once, it will not
meaningfully change in the future.

they may safely assume -> they can safely assume - ie, this boils to a
cache directive - any need to specify what one can infer here? You could
state there are consequences when servers deviate from SHOULD NOT.
But +1, sounds good.
