OK, I think we got there!

The archive administrator can leave out
"quality-verifying" metadata.
Is there a metedata element that specifies a date on
which the archived paper is superseded (by a new version,
the formally published version, etc)?
I always feel that browsers should have a user-switchable
window that shows the metadata so that they are aware of
crucial facts that may not be printed in the body of the
paper (like "there is a more recent corrected version
available").
But that's another matter!
