The issue is not ease of use, but what CONTENTS of the sites that they
are archiving are REALLY saved at IA.

I've found that they save the pointer, but not the content itself. This is
REALLY bad if the site referred to changes, or disappears.

Sadly, the preservation of web content will only become more difficult as
more and more sites move to on-the-fly serving of the underlying content.
