Hi Chris,
your not crazy and not paranoid. You are the pregressive thinker and it is
indeed no traditional thinking to criticize permanent DIGITAL retention
and I'm sure that no one is in this field as safe as houses. There are
countless open questions related to format (pdf, pdf-a, tiff etc.), storage
medium (tapes, dvd, cd etc.), software, hardware, data convertion,
migration etc. etc.
It should be of common interest for companies to store its important
documents with permanent retention periods as safe and as true to the
original as possible.
But there COULD be a new solution: Digital Microfiches! Within the ARCHE-
project ("Arche" [germ.] = "ark") the Fraunhofer Institute for Physical
Measurement Techniques IPM in Freiburg/Germany has developed an laser
recording technology for accurate long-term storage of analog originals and
digital data on preservation color microfilm. Among others the Fraunhofer
IPM was working together with the "Landesarchiv" (the departement of
archives) Baden-Wuerttemberg, the university library of Stuttgart and the
MicroArchive Systems company.
Please find further informations here:

In reference to your further questions I refer to MOREQ (Model Requirements
for the Management of Electronic Documents and Records). In the related
document you will find by clicking the link, you will get a lot of answers,
questions, ideas etc. you are looking for.
