Is there a way for archived todo items to be moved directly to the
archive file?

Also it would be nice if org-advertized-archive-subtree respected a
region selection but ignoring the itmes not tagged as archived.

A common use of archive for me would be to mark a lot of "things to do"
as "done" or "cancelled" and then move them to an archive file. they are
not a "whole" sub tree as they are maybe one in every 3 in my total
"Tasks" category.

If I have an archive file specified using "#+ARCHIVE: %s_done::" I'm not
sure I see the use of "C-c C-x C-a" with it not moving the item directly
to the archive file.

Any hints on using these features appreciated.

C-c C-x C-a just adds the archive tag, explicitly designed to provide
an archiving mechanism internal to the current file/tree.  If you want  
to
move an entry to the archive location, use `C-c $' instead.
