Hi all,

I've recently returned to regular org-mode use after a bit of a lapse and have opted to start my configuration from scratch. While setting up the archiving behaviour, I've discovered a few things about the variable org-archive-save-context-info that strike me as undesirable or puzzling.

1) The docstring reads (in part):
      itags      The local tags, in the headline of the subtree.
      ltags      The tags the subtree inherits from further up the hierarchy.
Easy enough to work out for oneself, but I assume the descriptions and names have been switched.

2) The customize interface for the variable presents two check-boxes both labeled `TODO state.' That seemed odd. dive into the source, and it looks to me and my weak elisp as though they are generated by the lines in org-archive.el that read:
          (const :tag "TODO state" todo)
          (const :tag "TODO state" priority)
It would seem to me that the second ought be described as `TODO priority'.

3) I spent a bit being very puzzled about why C-h v org-archive-save-context-info yielded the claim that there was no matching variable. It also didn't show up in the customize interface. Puzzled, I created a dummy headline to test what would happen on archiving. After archiving once, the variable exists. Is there some reason for making the variable dependent upon an invocation of org-archive-subtree? I doubt it will confound me again, but there wouldn't have been a problem were the variable initialized when org-mode is entered rather than upon a first archiving.

Thanks and best,

Brian vdB
