Committed 01. Nobody's offered an opinion about 02 yet, so I'm not
going to commit that, but one minor nitpick:

+ WAL to be archived. This behavior is only useful for backup
+ software which independently monitors WAL archiving, otherwise WAL
+ required to make the backup consistent might be missing and make the backup

I think this should really say "...which independently monitors WAL
archiving. Otherwise, WAL..."
