It will have to have z.html both in the archive and available directly from the server, in case z.html is requested before the load of the archive has finished. And if those copies ever get out of sync you're in very big trouble, because depending on the context, either the archive version or the direct version is likely to consistently win the load race, so just occasionally some clients will get the wrong version. This seems like a highly error-prone design.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
