Well, that I think is exactly the core of the issue: the "input" archive
area might or might not be the same as the "output" one. If they're
different then this isn't a critical problem; but we have no good way
to know that.
But your simplification may be a good idea anyway --- the fewer
behaviors to think about, the better.
Anyway, if you can test this tomorrow that'll be great. I have enough
other things to do today ...
