I don't see why. Errata approval is a stream function, but that's about content, not rendering.

Broken links are indeed on the edge, but "do the right thing" applies, doesn't it? If the sense of the room is that pointing to archived pages is the right thing, I'm not sure we'd really need an RFC saying so.
