It is, as already covered.
The Internet Engineering Task Force is not an authority on the art of
sound storage or archival.
Not itself, but the RFC authors -do- tend to be subject matter experts
(which is why they're the right people to write the specs).
You might look to the authors, for instance-
"Martijn van Beurden is Full Professor of 'Computational
Electromagnetics in complex high-tech systems' in the research group
Electromagnetics at the TU/e department of Electrical Engineering."
Or to the stated purpose of FLAC-
"The standardization process of the FLAC format into RFC 9639 was driven
by the specific use case of archival and preservation in mind.[1] The
National Archives and Records Administration has FLAC listed as a
preferred format for digital audio.[2]"
[1]https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-cellar/
[2]https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/policy/transfer-guidance-tables.html
So yes, it -is- considered "archival" and -is- well documented & specified.
Later,
z!
