   Assuming "archival" is not simply a word inserted by the marketing   
   department without any backing, "archival" for optical media usually   
   refered to the use of dyes that were supposedly stable over a longer   
   term time range.  With the intent being that the dyes are not supposed   
   to fade over just a few short years of storage.
