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..."
