I'm stepping into this thread late, so I may have the wrong end of the  
stick, but on these two points...

... my own website at http://stilgherrian.com is neither a .au domain  
nor hosted in Australia, but IS being archived in PANDORA, with a  
snapshot taken each January for the last couple or years.

But, chucking in another issue, there's things "in" my website which I  
consider to b part of "my" content but which are embedded from other  
seeming-unrelated domains such as video content at Viddler and Ustream  
and JavaScript-driven recording of liveblogs at CoveritLive. How can /  
does / should an archive handle this?
