[documentation] Trial run at Archiving pages rather than delete/unpublish

[Bill Fitzgerald]

Hello, Addi,

In addition to (or perhaps instead of), how about a theming function 
that gave all pages in the "Archive" book a different page background 
color, or even a background watermark image that said "Outdated docs -- 
saved for archival purposes" --

My wording isn't great, but something that created an immediate visual 
difference would help key people in that they had wandered into the 
"Archive" area.

Cheers,

Bill
