Overall I like this--enough wiggle-room to deal with situations we cannot
foresee now, but still sufficient guidance for the IESGs to come.  One
small issue, inline.

When an I-D is removed from the Public I-D Archive, a copy will be kept
in a location accessible only by the IETF Leadership and the IETF
Secretariat.  

It's quite likely, if there really were a court order to remove an I-D
from public access, that there is also a demand to destroy any copies.
The sentence above could be read that the IETF would keep a copy
nevertheless.  

To cure this, you could insert a sentence "This copy will be removed only
based on a court order or a legal request of comparable strength.".

In other words, IESG common sense is enough to remove an I-D from the
publicly accessible archive, but it takes a court order to remove it for
good.
