I'll admit that my argument doesn't stand up to severe testing - but I think it is important that in general the receivers of the stream will also want to store it (certainly my almost complete transition to TiVo-ized TV viewing [what little I do] would support that theory :-). Which is what I meant by "archive it somewhere", but I see now was far from clear.
