Julie--

As a "professional" archivist/records manager, primarily practicing in the 
realm of RM, see below:

Maybe this is a question best asked of the professional archivists on the
list.  What say you about the theory of archival preservation - is there
room in there for consideration that it is the content that needs
preservation first, and that, whenever possible, it's also nice to 
preserve
the original medium.

A resounding YES! Content trumps medium but both require consideration and 
are not mutually exclusive of each other. I am in complete agreement with 
the entirety of your message, except for that middle part about headaches.
