As archive.debian.org lives in US TTBOMK it doesn't carry the non-US
part, and I'm not aware of any archive-non-US host ...
But this exists:
#v+
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody-proposed-updates/non-US main contrib non-free
#v-
I guess non-us.d.o itself is the archive for the non-us parts anyway.

Indeed - unfortunately I don't see any woody-proposed-updates on
archive.debian.org? Were there none when woody got moved to the archive?
I would guess even then it would be a good idea to have (empty) files
there -- on the other hand people have to edit their sources.list anyway
to use the archive.

There are none.

Because woody got removed from the mirrors and moved to the archive.

See above about my guessings along that lines.

And it had been done in the past, see e.g. potato pages.

You don't "need" them. If it was empty it gains nothing to list it, but
if it wasn't (which I have no idea about - propably the people doing the
move to the archive know?) it should get fixed.
So long,
