I gather that you want to make an archive format which is based on a
dumb-fs transport (hence, uses the pfs layer) but which is not the
same as the current dumb-fs format (hence, does _not_ use the
archive-pfs layer). Is that correct?

Oh, please no. At least not yet. Instead, just make up some new URI
methods. So, instead of
sftp:.....
use:
johannes-arch-sftp:.....
or something similar.
Later, if the new format proves to be a win, we can explore how to
integrate it with archive-pfs.
