The relatively clear mandate for collecting all published materials given to the danish royal libary by the danish constitution is kind of rare in it's scope and status.

https://www.bl.uk/collection-guides/uk-web-archive describe the much more limited aproach taken by the british library much later in time, but might extend to a similar scope.

That web domain dataset they get from the internet archive is interesting in light of the current discussion, in that I am supposing it probably has .uk content that has been removed from the actual internet archive by robots.txt changes.

I think if I were running a national or internationally mandated archiving initiative I would basically want to take in content from Internet Archive, and not remove things, and probably it would be less expensive that way than having my own crawler.
