Okay, I changed the thread to an Archive (I was on vacation last week).
As for someone's questions, I'd rule (noting that I'm an observer, not a judge)
- for purposes of spell completion/spell trigger items, any divine spell is considered to be on their list; it seems like this should work (though if they had Use Magic Device as a class skill, I'd probably rule the other way)
- I'd propose an alteration to Rystil's rule of thumb, and give domain spells the lowest priority (i.e. a spell is available to archivists at its level as a domain spell only if it's not a divine spell in any other way), largely because of this issue, though I suspect the judges are going to go very slowly on allowing non-core domains
- magic items that work as spellbooks do work as prayerbooks, mostly because it's simpler than creating equivalent prayerbook items
