I have compared the format draft to the charter and it meets the requirements, at least in my eyes (which are the eyes of a protocol weenie but not a developer).
In specific, "a complete archive of all entries in a feed" is well taken care of by our current format; it's just not explicitly called "an archive". The fact that our IDs are unique over all time means an archive of all entries that were ever in the main feed is just a bigger feed; that will work exactly as an archive with no ambiguity of elements.
